Hello,
I have got a problem after upgrade from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP
Pro.
I access internet at home thorugh GPRS on my Nokia 6610 mobile using
IrDA for connectivity. Earlier, I was using Windows 2000 Pro and
everything was working fine. But happy days of accessing internet came
to end when I upgarded to Windows XP Pro (SP1).
First problem I encountered is that, I was not able to install the
modem. I have Motorola SM56 PCI modem too. Windows XP gave error
"Unable to Install Modem". After googling a lot, I found the fix at
Microsoft Website
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883356
and fixed it in registry. After the fix worked fine and both modems
(SM56 and 6610) were installed.
I was happy for a moment then this problem came. Now When I try to dial
out to my ISP, I get error 50. Now this doesnt means that modem got
hardware issue and ISP switched off his network. I have Windows XP Pro
at office and I used same Modem at there and everything works fine.
Even when I browse on mobile it works fine.
What I feel is problem is in registry. What I see inconsistent is, my
modems got COM Port 22 (SM56) and 23 (Nokia). Earlier in Window 2000
Pro, I had port number 4 and 5. When I was facing Modem Installation
Problem then I reinstalled these both modems many times. When I got to
ContolPanel>Modem Settings>Nokia or SM56>Advanced Settings>Port It
shows that COM ports from 5 to 21 are in use. But in registry I found
entries for COM1,2,22,23,15 and 17.
Can anyone help me on this issue. I googled a lot but still not found
the solution.
Regards,
Davinder
