And for the speed, that might just be a setting that you have Win 2K running, cause otherwise, Win 2K should not affect speed, unless u have some networking app. running, or a setting messed up in the config Unless you try something to which you have not already succeeded ~ Then you shall NEVER grow | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 95 UGN fag | UGN fag Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 95 | It's most likely a driver issue. A WinModem is different than regular modems because it doesn't contain a chip to tell it what to do. It simply relies on Windows to tell it what to do. This is why it's pretty hard to get WinModem's to work in linux.
So what I would think is that in some way, the NT structure is just different, and effects the way that windows talks to the modem. However installing the correct driver should correct the problem all together. | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 81 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: May 2002 Posts: 81 | in your regards to your slow connection, it happens to all us 56s, i just 2 click my little icon near my time thingy, and see what im connected at. then if its somthing like 16,900bs i jsut dissconnect and reconnect till i hit a modem that gets me 2 somthing like 53,333bs take a couple trys somtime u gotta settle for 43,000bs but hey its 56 it sucks ya gotta deal | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 UGN Supporter | UGN Supporter Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 | hahaha. i have to settle for 24k <img border="0" alt="[Bust a Cap]" title="" src="graemlins/cap.gif" /> .

My modem used to vary alot upon connections (as u said)....now I've made it show me I am connected @ 9,600Bps....sometimes it tells me i'm @ 115,2Kbps...
I use a 56k modem so if that's not bullshit then what is?
WEll I'm not bringing an answer to your question sorry, it was just to say don't rely on that supposed speed windows shows u on top of the 2 flashy PC in your system tray. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 122 Member | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 122 | why the hell do you get isdn.... heh | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 860 Likes: 1 Der �belt�ter | Der �belt�ter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 860 Likes: 1 | Because he jewed his cable all up, so the ISP will only let him have ISDN. | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 UGN Supporter | UGN Supporter Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 | there isnt anythign else i can use out here in the boonies, ha <img border="0" alt="[[censored]]" title="" src="graemlins/[censored].gif" /> . When im 18 im moving to an area with cable modem. I love windows 2000, ive been running it for a long time hardly any problems at all. Everything of mine has been compatable... i had to download a few updates and reinstall a few hings but its all ok now. You should retry your windows2k unless your a linux <img border="0" alt="[?]" title="" src="graemlins/question.gif" /> user which... i dunno anything about cuz i dont use it.
