Dial-up Modem Problems

[Guest]

I have had to re-install Win 2000 as I was having problem with Zone alarm and
couldn't connect to the internet. This problem has gone but I sometimes need
to use my dial-up system and this has now stooped. Win 2K says that I
haven't got a modem connected but I have and it an internal one. Has the
re-install affected the modem and how do I re-configure it?

You need to install the drivers that the modem manufacturer
supplied with the modem.

Go to "Control Panel", "Add/Remove Hardware" and troubleshoot or
reinstall the modem. If this doesn't help or can't be done, please repost
with more information, including the manufacturer and model of the
modem.

I did as you suggested but the modem is not being detected by the OS. I have
removed the modem and the only details I can see on it are as follow:
PCI Modem V.92 WW5.4C
PIBZ 033N1137

If it is a driver that is required then which one do I install?

Many thanks in adavance

You need the FCCID No. and model number to be sure of identifying the
manufacturer and model of your PCI card. This should be printed
somewhere on it, but is not always clearly shown. What you supplied is
neither.

Have a look at http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/f/fccid.htm to get an
idea what to look for.

Click on Start | Run and enter msinfo32 . Look in Components\Problem
Devices, do you see the modem there and do you see its PCI\VEN number?

I found the driver for my modem and installed it on my system. I re-started
my computer to complete the installation and during re-start an error message
on a blue screen was displayed. STOP: 0x0000000A, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Ntoskrnl.exe

I restarted in the safe mode and unistalled the driver but on restart the
error message still appeared.

Any suggestions on a fix?

Try booting using the Last Known Good Configuration.

First remove modem card and see whether the problem remains.

As mentioned by another poster, try using "Last known good configuration".
