Dialup Modem Connection Problems (MDC V.92)

[tomrice32]

Hi,

I'm having problems dialling my dialup connection on my laptop. I believe the modem inside is an MDC V.92 56k modem. What happens is I connect and it detects the dial tone and dials the number fine, then starts making that modem noise, then it just stops on one continuous beep for about 5 seconds and gives me an error that the remote host did not respond.

At first I presumed that meant a problem at the ISP, but I tried another computer in the same room connected with the same cable and the same connection settings and it worked perfectly fine, so I'm convinced its something wrong with the modem.

I tried downloading an updated driver from here:

But then when I dialled it made some really weird noise and failed straight away, so I rolled back to my previous driver and now it's how it was before.

Any ideas?

Thanks

when you hear continuous funny sound, it means that "handshake" between the modems is not taking place.
do you get any messages on the dial-up window? what's the error number?
in your tcp/ipc settings, is netbui enabled?
configure the modem with the correct driver from the manufacturer's website if you can.
