1st I thought the modem was gone, and I installed a new modem. The it gave me the same problem. When I try to create a dialup connection, in the place where I have to enter a name for my connection, it says invalid name for every name I enter. When I use a ISP dialer, it says modem not found.

Shut down Zonealarm. It thinks your software is a virus.\nShut it down, reload the needed software, then turn it back on. That should work but if not call Zonealarm support

you need to configure your computer for dial connection. you need to have an isp provider. username and password and of course telephone number to dial.

preferences > connection > make sure everything is set right. But i just checked mine, I have DSL but it was set on dial-up, but it still works lol. probably the main thing though is about the proxy. Mine was set on No proxy, which is the default setting.

Check the passward and username\nCheck the firewall or internet security setting if you got some software for that\nCheck the internet connection, it sounds like you dont even have any tcp/ip connection\nLast resort, uninstall the software and then reinstall it

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

you need to have a primary and secondary domain name servers - dns .. call your internet service provider they can provide you the dns after that call linksys and ask  where to put these dns. \n- you can also call your internet service provider and complain about this - your internet service provider might ask you to bypass the router (usually isp doesnt support 3rd party hardware) for troubleshooting.. if first tier tech support cant resolve your issue, they have second tier support for further troubleshooting\n- also you can try different browsers

What kind of connection do you have.  It sounds like you might be having NAT timeout issues which means that your router is having problems.\n\nCan you state \n\na) what type of connection (cable, adsl, dial up etc)\nb) what operating system do you use (windows or mac)\nc) if you know what your ISP is, it would help.  That's the company you pay for internet access.\n\nSorry, I need more info before I can give you a possible solution.

For starters, make sure you're plugging your cable from your wall to the correct jack in your modem.  One usually has a phone icon - don't use that one for the wall connection.  Use that for an actual phone.\n\nIf your hear a dial tone from your speakers when you try to fax someone, then that's a good thing - your fax is trying to start up and dial.  If you don't hear a dial tone, again check your plugs.  It may even help to check the wall outlet as well, since that may be part of the problem.\n\nAs for dialing, you can usually go either way with dashes or no dashes.  Just be sure to use area codes where necessary.\n\nNow be warned - sometimes sending a fax over a cable modem won't work out.  I've had that told to me once, and it turned out that it did work in my case.  But then recently, I tried to fax and they didn't go through all the way.  I had to do some fancy trickery to get things right again, but it worked out in the end.\n\nBTW, the link below is from Microsoft's website.  It may help with some minor usage and troubleshooting.

Hey there's nothing wrong with good old dial-up!  Try looking at this site:\nhttp://help.prodigy.net/help/network/prob/slowconnect.html\n\nI know it's a bit heavy for the normal internet user, but if you can identify the type of modem you've got, it should help to try to modify the initialization string as they suggest.  Always remember to make a note of what's in there first!

You need to reinstall the the modem software so that the os can detect the modem. If that doesnt work then you can try unplugging your modem and plugging it again after restarting the system. Get back to me if that doesnt solve your problem

It is your DSL or your set up connections.  Perhaps you need to reinstall the software. The ISP could also be conflicting with another program.\nE

I am not quite sure, but lets do\n- Right click on My network places\n- select properties\n- Right click on the modem connection (dial up connection) you made\n- select properties\n- Now, as i remember, select advanced then share this connection\n- and go\n\nXLMan

Hi. It sounds like your network card or modem card may be at fault. Can you try removing it and replacing it. If not, go to your control panel, system, hardware manager and uninstall the device in software. Reboot and see if that works. Good luck.

If firefox stopped. Try opening Internet explorer. If internet explorer works and firefox doesnt you'll know why.\n\n\nDialup usually disconnects people especially if you use something digusting like aol and walmart connect.\n\n\nNetscape dialup, earthlink, and juno are the best rated dialup services.

I had exactly the same problem, call the 1800 number.  It may also be a problem with your modem.

I too used to work on Dial Up and it is a pain in the butt. I now have DSL and it's a ton better. I'd seriously think about upgrading that internet connection.\n\nIf you give me your e-mail address I will e-mail you the install file. I have a yahoo e-mail address that I am pretty sure I can send a file that size through to you on. If you are interested please contact me at oboedude01@yahoo.com.

Hello!\n   Try this!  Go into your control panel, and from there go to where you can add hardware; this would be easier if I knew your operating system.\n     Using the Add Hardware Wizard, after looking for new hardware automatically, you will eventually be showed a list of hardware that you already have, but at the bottom of that list it will say, "add new hardware devices".  Then  one of two choices will say, "pick you hardware device from a list". One of these devices will be com ports (COM AND LPT).  Choose this and add COM (communication port).  You should see this at the top of this list. Hit add hardware. You should get a prompt saying the com device was added.  Then go into device manager under the systems tab and look at ports (COM AND LPT).  SEE IF ANY OTHER PORT IS ALSO PRESENT BESIDES 3 NOW!  IF SO, USE THAT NEW PORT (USUALLY COM 2) TO INSTALL YOUR MODEM!  Hopes this helps
