Internal PnP modem blues

[NT4U]

I have no luck in installing plug & play internal modem (jumperless) in a Win NT 4/6a environment? Although most modem manufacturers claim their products work on NT, I found this difficult to imagine. I had tried 3 different brands but to no avail. The only thing I know that would seem to run on NT were internal modems with jumper settings set to an open COM port and external analog modems.

Please advise, thank you for any insight about this problem!

Is the PnP service running?

Thanks for the reply Larry. I am running a home PC with NT 4 W/S sp6a (no server connection).

I did try this suggestion on an internet site but no luck.

Do you have a network card also in the PC?

Usually you'll find with a non-PnP OS (like NT4), it won't run a Network Card and an Internal Modem at the same time, as you'll get IRQ conflicts (it will try to assign the same IRQ port to both devices).

In Start -> Progs -> Admin Tools -> NT Diagnostics, you can check what IRQ every device is using, as well as I/O Ports. Your modem must have its own, non-conflicting I/O and IRQ settings. MCSE NT4/W2K
