OK... I am ready to pull my hair out. My grandparents recieved a computer and I'm trying to install a modem. I know that the modem is a Lucent but that is about it. I'm putting it in a P166mhz Win 98 box. I have tried everything to get this thing to install and I'm at a loss. When trying to connect to the internet it says that no dial tone can be detected. I've tried the Add new hardware approach and also adding the modem buy going thru settings/control panel/modems and it still wont recognize it.
I have checked the phone line and there is a dial tone when the phone is plugged in.
The error message says that I may need to turn the modem on... how the heck do I do that? I've checked the BIOS and can find no settings for this.
What am I missing??? I really need to get this thing done this weekend. Any suggestions would be of great help!!
