XP: Modem Problem

[agilo]

Hi,

I do have a problem to get connected to the internet using my 56 kb/s notebook build in modem. The OS is Windows Media Center Service Pack 2. The modem is an Agere Creatix 2.0 AC'97 one.

Dialing an internet provider continues till handshaking (I hear the computer is dialing), and suddenly the connection is cut before connecting with the error message No. 678 (The Computer You Are Dialing Into Is Not Answering).

I can dial any my hand number without problem.

Any help is welcomed...

Does your ISP have a different local number you can call?

The ISPs around here (tiny town) have 2 numbers each, so maybe you can try that.

new modems, some v92 modems have modem on hold (MOH)and other protocols that the isp may not do a successful handshake with. you isp can usually help you get connected and stay connected.

Hi,

I have tried different numbers and providers, I still have the same problem.. I get connected easy with the provider using another pc.
The modem is a V90 one.

Regrads,

Update the drivers for the modem from the manufacturers website?

if the updated driver doesnt work then put another modem in your pc. ask one of the IT guys at work, they always have extra 56k modems laying around collecting dust.
