XP Pro and LT Winmodem

[jo770]

I am having many disconnections from the above equipment. Can anybody help.
I am experiencing electric fence clicks every couple of seconds for a duration of about 100 ms. Would increasing the keep alive settings reduce the disconnection rate. If not what would??

I am a country boy and actually don't know what that means, but in my defense, left the farm many moons ago.

Anyhow, assuming we are talking about a desktop internal modem (we are aren't we?) if getting many disconnects, might try the following with your modem:

Enter the modem manufacturer's website and download the very latest drivers for your system.

Go into Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager and delete all references to a modem.

Shut down and physically move the modem to PCI #3 (third slot down from the AGP slot)

Enter BIOS setup menu and make sure your PnP is set to DISABLED in winXP and if Win98, then set it to ENABLED.

Save and Exit

Reboot and download the latest and best drivers from the manufacturer's website. (skip the disk that came with your modem, they update drivers quite often) If WinXP, don't pay any attention when it says the best drivers are loaded after XP boots, force it to take the latest and best drivers you have downloaded.

That should help your problem
