Steff Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I got my DSL and hooked it all up. Green lights on the power, ethernet, and DSL buttons.. but my computer is not finding the modem... any suggestions? I've re-booted so that's not the problem.

There should be a cd or disk that came with the modem. Or, try your Windows cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Did you install the modem drivers? There should be a cd or disk that came with the modem. Or, try your Windows cd. Yea.. I have the SBC DSL disk and it stops and says it can't find the modem. It's probably defective. I told you guys I would eff this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 This may be a long shot, but STeff, go: Start > Connections > and try to connect to the ethernet port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you guys I would eff this up. OK, go to your start button on your desktop. Then select settings, then control panel, then system. Under system find the device manager. Check in there to see if it's recognizing a modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Call the help line.... I had probs with my install and they walked me through it. I called last night... 3 hours later.. they still had not come on the line (I was working at home with the speaker phone on). I'll try again tonight.

kapkomet Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Yea, my internet connection is f'ed up too. Damn it. And I can't get ahold of anyone for tech support. I'm not a happy camper. I have wireless internet but my router doesn't work on the hard wired computers. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Woo hoo guys!! I am up and running.. and damn... it is FAST!!! BTW.. the issue was with Norton. I thought I removed that s*** months ago when it crashed my system.. but apparently not. Now it's gone and I am all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 It really is stuning the difference. I go by buddies house who has 56K and its "s***, I dont know what I would do without DSL" Let me put it this way, if I ever go down to 56K, you guys will just have to get used to not having my posts. I guess now I just have to wait until heads and 2k call my cable provider and convince them to pull my serivce But seriously, dialup is awful. I'd almost never use the computer if I had to wait for sites to load and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
