you cannot complete the setup through the Fax Console when you start the
fax program
Jared said:I used the windows add/remove components and added the Fax services it was
rather difficult but I found all the files necessary on my XP disk in the

tools and was going to configure the Fax and when I launch the utility it
tells me that (A connection to the fax server cannot be made) and I

Chuck said:Do you have an analog modem in your computer? If there is no analog modem,
you cannot complete the setup through the Fax Console when you start the
fax program
If this is the case, how can the multifunction printer/fax/copier/scanners
work?
Obviously, the install process for an MFP must have a way. (How reliable is
another story)
Russ Valentine said:Many people are reporting similar problems, especially after installations
of SP2. Microsoft has not been able to reproduce them and the only solution
they have offered is the disabling of firewall/antivirus programs.
Did the installation appear to go smoothly and with no error messages? Were
you ever able to install the fax component on this system? Is your analog
fax modem on the Windows XP HCL list?

Sorry I missed the other questions.
Windows XP HCL list? Explain not sure of the terminology. But yes it is
installed and functioning correctly.
Were you ever able to install the fax component on this system? NO But on
many others and I love the functionality it offers.

Jared said:No the Installation didn't go smooth but I'm use to that as I am a Support
Tech for a 3rd party company that installs windows on most of our systems. I
had to search and find all the .exe's, dll and system files manually and then
the install appeared to go smoothly after that and after the install it
appears to not even show up in the installed group in the windows add/remove
components but if you re-install the Fax in the windows add/remove components
it goes smoothly and I don't even have to search and find the .exe's, dll and
system files but it still doesn't work I just went to the System32 folder and
found the fxsclnt.exe and run the program manually and then I got the errors.
I assume it doesn't work because of the lack of the Fax printer being
installed and yes during the installation I made sure to find all the ..exe's,
dll and system files and make sure they were in the correct location. Not
sure if their was some registry settings missed or just the Fax Printer not
being installed is the issue because the only error I receive is (A
connection to the fax server cannot be made) and the Fax component doesn't
show up in the windows add/remove components.
