| 840780 | 2009-12-18 06:40:00 | I have a old laptop from 2000 from studies . It's the only machine that has a fax feature . Wanna send a fax but it says, code 10 under systems properties . Under modems it says, not functional . When I send a fax it says no dialtone . It is one of those combo mini pci card - ethernet + modem . Ethernet is working I assume . Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers to no avail . Laptop doesn't have anything there so will do a re-ghost and see if that helps . If not . . . . . :help: |

| 840781 | 2009-12-18 08:17:00 | Has it got more than 1 jack / connection on it?? Sometimes people put the phone line into the wrong jack | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 840782 | 2009-12-18 08:46:00 | It is off the laptop so there is just one jack. I know which one is the ethernet :D It is the internal pci card, not PCMCIA. For the ADSL splitter. You use the one for the phone right? Not the one for the computer. |

| 840783 | 2009-12-18 08:49:00 | If its got a splitter remove it, thats probably whats stopping it from dialing out. Plug it into the phone jack itself | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 840784 | 2009-12-18 09:04:00 | Some things you could try. Reseat the mini-pci. Check the pin out (some older ones have a different pin assignment) The presario is different to the dv6000 in my pictures Then try a different modem to confirm the line is working. Does the old lappy have a serial port? Serial modems are very reliable. |

| 840786 | 2009-12-18 20:35:00 | I think it is kapuf. I reloaded the ghost file which admitted was before the upgrade ie., a modem instead of the combo ethernet + modem now. Generally what happens and it has always works that is I have a CD with the drivers, I updated the ethernet drivers and the modem drivers. The ethernet works (as it did prior to ghost) but the modem still refuse to work. This is the first time I cannot get the modem to work after a re-ghost. I have re-seated the pci card. I dunno about the pins - I have tried more than one cable, more than one phone jack (wall). I have tried direct to the wall jack as well as via a line filter. Don't have another modem these days, just ADSL and Wireless :D Just no dial tone. Occasionally it would display the error in control panel. Then after a few reboots that would dissapear but still cannot get a dial tone. I think it is dead. It is a 2000 laptop. I need to be careful what I load onto it cos it can be v slow. May head to the public library to send a fax. This laptop is hardly worth $50 so a modem purchase is out of the question :p |

| 840787 | 2009-12-19 06:11:00 | This is strange. When I tried the network card, that failed. Couldn't even go on BB. I reghost again and didn't install the SP. It worked. Reinstall SP and still working, lol. Then I installed the modem driver which worked fine previously. Gave me blue screen upon boot. I got the later driver a few months newer (2001), and that worked and now everything works after SP. Strange..... I did lost my $4 for a one pager fax at the library :D |
