I'm using Microsoft Fax Console Version 5.1 (SP2), with Microsoft Shared Fax
Driver. It came bundled with XP on my computer and has worked fine until just
recently. I updated to SP2 some years ago when it first was announced by
Windows Update, and the fax feature worked fine for a long time after I did
that. I don't use it that often, but the last fax I seem to have received was
in Sep 2006, and the last one I successfully sent was in Feb 2007.
Now when I try to fax from within outlook or Word, or I try to receive using
the Fax Console, I get "Error message: Fax server information cannot be
retrieved. The Fax wizard will close now." If I try Configure Fax from the
Console it chugs away for many minutes before displaying "A connection to the
fax server cannot be found." At the bottom of my Console window it says "All
fax printers are inaccessible." (I don't have a fax "printer" as such - I
just send and receive documents from my desktop)
I have a phone line hooked up to my computer which works fine, and I'm using
a Lucent Win Modem as I have all along since I bought my computer in 2001.
Can anyone help?
