For anyone having problems with their modem

[Scott]

I've had my comp for about 6 months or so and ever since I've had it, the modem (U.S. Robotics 56k) wouldn't work how it's supposed to. I tried everything to fix it: software, changing the settings, looking at tech support web sites, calling the tech support number, getting new drivers, and nothing worked. So what was it you ask? A phone that was plugged into one of the phone lines. It wasn't even the same line. It was plugged into the home phone line while my comp was in another line. I unplugged it and so far no problems. No more disconnecting after a few minutes and no more slow connections. It's twice as fast also. So if your having problems I'd suggest to try to unplug every phone in the house and see if that works.

I think your phone is ringing.

Its cool if it works for ya and it sucks that it has to come to that. But doesn't that defeat the purpose? I mean, why did you get a second line in the first place. Guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Rock on!!

No, it was the phone not the phone line. All I had to do was unplug that phone and put in any other phone i wanted. I think it was because it was a piece of **** speaker phone.
