Hi All,
Have an Acer laptop with win98 second edition. Recently its internal
modem stopped working and I have been trying to determine if the modem
is burned out or something. Just prior to it going down there was a
lightening storm in the area but can't be sure if this caused the modem
to stop working. I uninstalled it and upon reboot windows quite
happily and when I perform the diagnostic test on it in the modems
section of control panel it seems to accept its there and working but
when I try and use it to go onto the internet it just lets a slight
click like its trying to connect but nothing happens and it gives me
the error message that there is no dial tone. I have tried it on a
couple of different connections including taking it to a different house
ina different area and still no difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Paul.
