PCMCIA modem not working

[johntaylor11]

Hi guys

I have PCMCIA TDK Global Pro V.90 modem attached to a Compaq Evo N800v running Windows 2000.

For some reason, everytime I try to dial-up to the internet, I get an "Error 777" message. I've checked the cables, and all the settings in device manager. Through the "modem properties" window I can query modem, and the screen responds with a list of characters. Also, the modem seems to be configured to COM 4, but when reinstalling a modem, there are an unusually large number of COM ports available for selection; 1-9 minus ports 2 and 3, but no LPT ports.

Any ideas as to whats wrong?

According to MS:

Error 777: The connection attempt failed because the modem or other connecting device on the remote computer is out of order.

Their fix is to install a compatible modem driver.

Sometimes getting the generic driver for your modem chipset will solve the problem. Check with TDK and see if they have a more recent driver for Win2k.
