I use a 56k dial up modem and I am unable to disconnect from the internet short of physically unplugging the phone line. I can't even bring up the connection status window (by double clicking icon in taskbar or connection in networking and dial up window). I have Win2kPro.
Any idea>?
Thx
Step 1: Surf over to Linux ISO and get your favorite
distro and burn 2 cd.
Step 2: Reboot using bootdisk and at command line type "format c:/"
Step 3: Insert you freshly burned linux cd and install.
Step 4: No more steps. Thats it!

Very amusing, hjack.
I already have dual boot with Mandrake 9.0, but I am lacking a Linux driver for my softmodem. It is a Netodragon 56k voice/fax modem. If you could show me a link to a driver it would be nice.
As to my other problem, right after I connect and open Internet Explorer, an error pops up saying there was a problem with svchost.exe and it will be closed by windows. I then can not disconnect, nor can I look at anything in the control panel.
Hmmm...
Thx
windows ,bleh, sorry, Linux -open google(or any decent uncommercially polluted search engine), then type netodragon+linux and press return voila! your driver. (This hint works for pretty much anything to do with linux)
hey SY ..didnt you start a thread about a driver for that modem ..and didnt i give you a link for that driver ...?

next time subscribe to your threads and check if somebody helped you or not ...if that link i gave you didnt work why didnt you post something like "hey MemorY that link didnt help me i need this and this and an error pops up with this and this bla bla bla ...etc..."
maybe because this thread was originally started for a completely different reason until newbies start with their lame comments. Learn to read.Quote:

Hi,
I think that the first step is to narrow down the possibilities; and the best place to start is to make sure that it is not a virus/malware. Remember, not all malware loads and runs perfectly in all environments, so you may have been hit by a corrupt one that has done damage, but has not worked properly. That might make it less obvious from a detection point.
The info. from the AV sites usually relates to "good" copies :)
Update your AV and run it with all the scanning options on. That is, ALL files, heuristics on, compresssed files, memory etc. I would be inclined to run it in "safe" mode if it will.
You might try some of the AV companies and run their online scanner (PC-Cillin for example) Just to get a "second opinion"
Check your startup for anything strange.
Get Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft, update it and run it.
Get Spybot Search & Destroy, update it and run it.
You might even try a Pest Patrol trial.
That should eliminate the virus possibility from the equation.
I did have some problems a while back that caused connection/disconnection problems that turned out to be corrupt stacks in the registry (TCP/IP and LSP come to mind), so you may have to repair that and do some re-installing?
Sorry I cannot be of more help at the moment, but I do not have a 2K or XP box set up, and it was a while ago...............let us know how you get on..........
Good Luck!
kill RNAAPP in taskmanager then hook a phone up to the other phone jack in the modem and see if you get dial tone. i had an aopen modem that the relay got stuck closed on. could be the modem
hjack that was just a wise-ass remark and in no way helpfull to someonw asking a windows question. save your leetist comments for the SK sites
Okay, so my comment was a little out of taste. I am sorry. I did look for nearly 2 hour after that for a driver for his modem in linux and found no results. I didn't post a follow up because I found nothing. So don't think me 2 much of an *******. I did try.

Sorry about the smart ass .Sy.
Hey N1ghtStalker why dont you STFU!? Am sorry but I am so sick of pompous lil ignorami like you.....ok let me break this down for you.....
ok pls look at the stucture of this sentance.....Memory is NOT refering to this thread he is actually commenting on another thread that was posted by .sy found hereQuote:
hey SY ..didnt you start a thread about a driver for that modem ..and didnt i give you a link for that driver ...?
Now I know what your gonna say "Maybe I dont read every thread at AO" - well heres a big shocker neither do I!!! But a simple look at .sy's profile where it lists last 20 posts quickly turned up the post to which Memory was refering.
this part is a simple suggestion that when posting a question it is only common sense - and common courtesy to check back every once in a while to see if anyone has replied.Quote:

Ok now lets take a look at your post ::::
yes your right it was - but he wasn't refering to this thread as established above so that leaves that comment null & void.Quote:
maybe because this thread was originally started for a completely different reason
and of course your comment was just over-flowing with helpfull comments, wit and inteligence(!?)Quote:
until newbies start with their lame comments.
hopefully I have now shown that perhaps you should take your own advice......Quote:

I do appologise for taking this thread off on such a tangent but I felt that the question had been already answered succesfully and also that it had to be said. I am sick and tired of people who come on the boards simply to bitch and whine about other people about how they are not contributing or how their comments are unhelpfull when they themselves are guilty of much the same.
Some may find this statement very hypocritical of me when viewing my posts of late but I think that tutorial count does demonstrate that I do try and contribute when time allows.
So please those of you reading this who feel the urge to post a similar comment as that highlighted here - that of N1ghtStalker
sit back and think to yourself first - "Am I so much better?"

I posted that to piss someone off and it obviously worked :D
I just didnt expect some loser to set down and make a list complete with rebuttals :cool:
LOL :D
I love negative points, give me your best shot =)
An idiots defence is alwys to claim that their actions were in jest.
As for your comment about negative AP's with the way your behaving lately on the boards I think you will get it your fill of them quite quickly.
Oh so I'm the loser? Yet you are the one who insists upon not only posting mindless crap but then not taking the responsability for it. At least when expressing my views I dont try and weasel out from them later.Quote:
