ISDN Adapter cannot connect after installing D-Link PCI Wireless NIC on WinXP

[Mark Critchley]

Hi Folks

In desperation and confusion I need help! I was up until recently
running a WinXP home PC on a Sitecom PCI ISDN ADapter DC-105 with a
USB Wireless Card (unknown) successfully, except that the power
consumption on the USB ports was too high causing printing problems to
a USB connected printer. Hence I bought and installed a D-Link PCI
based Wireless NIC (we use these at work too). However I connot dial
any ISDN calls. Each time it fails with a "651" error is reported by
Windows.

Whether I enable or disable the D-link card, the ISDN adapter still
doesn't work. If I remove the D-Link card the ISDN adapter works fine.
And just to really confuse the issue, the D-Link card works great and
doesn't seem bothered by any configuration or conflict.

Windows XP reports no conflicts, and the resources are using different
ranges and interrupts. All the latest drivers were downloaded
(obviously after I removed the D-link card).

Has anyone any further ideas or experiences that are similar with
these or other cards? I never had this problem with the USB "Taiwan
Special".

Regards, MC.

Check you Internet Explorer Connection settings
I've had a similar sounding error, although not for the same reasons.

You have checked the cable to the card?
Youy do know that if you've a modern HH/BH connection from BT (under 3?
years old) that it'll have a USB socket on it that you can plug the
PC into?
