Hyper-V locks up PCI modem port on host machine

I have a Windows 2008 Server with a PCI US Robotics Fax/Modem card installed. Additionally, this Win2008 Server is running a virtual machine (Hyper-V) that is configured to be an SQL server.
When the virtual machine is OFF. I have no issues with the Fax/Modem on the host.
As soon as I start the VM, I cannot query my modem and all Fax/Modem functions stop working. The issue is the COM3 Port assigned to the Fax/Modem is being opened and never released by the VM. As soon as I stop the VM, all Fax/Modem functionality
returns to normal and I can open COM3 and query the modem.
Thanks, Jim

I installed a USB Modem (Creative Modem Blaster). This has the same issue; actually both modems have the same issue (I left the internal US Robotics modem installed).
Not all VMs are stealing my modems. I have a Server with about 5 VMs and none of the VM's are stealing my modem. I installed another VM that is being used as a domain controller and this VM does not steal my modem. BUT, this one VM is stealing
any modem I connect except a modem connected to the serial port.
The VM in question is running SQL server under a cluster with 2 nodes. It is using 3 of the 4 NICs, 4 CPUs and 8GM of RAM.
Does anyone know of any reason a VM would grab a hold of a modem and not let it go?

K7n2 delta, won't allow me to connect to the internet via pci modem

motherboard: K7n2 delta, nforce2 ultra
won't allow me to connect to the internet via pci modem
i have got 2 computers with same mobo, can connnect through external 56k
but the 2 internal 56ks (one in each computer), will not connect.
just dials then beeps, or no dialing tone.
the 2 internal ones are differnet makes, but connect through PCI
there must be something wrong with Mobo settings or pci stuff
all internet and modem settings are correct, etc etc etc
can u help
or does anyone have a pci 56k running on that mobo?

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
Thanks,Terry C.

I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.

PCI Modem in a B&W G3?

Hello,
I am interested in putting a modem into a B&W G3. I have found some good prices for PCI modems on ebay, however, I am not sure if these modems will work in my computer. I know that one of the great things about Macs is that installation of drivers is usually not required. Would this be true with a PCI Modem?
Thank You for your help!
Video Guy

Unfortunately, there are no PCI modem cards that are Mac-compatible, mainly because so many of those used in PCs were fully or partially software-based (WinTel modems). A full-hardware modem has an onboard DSP and controller, but software-based modems pass off some of these chores to the CPU through software. As far as I know, the only 100% hardware-based PCI modem card in production is the US Robotics 56K v.92 Performance Pro, but there are no Mac drivers for it - either through US Robotics or built into OS X. Some B&W G3s (Build-to-Order models) shipped with Apple's proprietary internal modem card, that connects to the COMM slot with a ribbon cable. I think MegaMacs had some new "old stock" Global Village 56K v.90 modem cards, designed for the B&W G3s, PCI Graphics G4s, and early iMacs. I'll double-check my bookmark for the retailer (when I'm using my B&W), but I know that they were selling for $19.99. You could also use a hardware-based external modem and connect it to a USB port, using a DB-9 or DB-25 serial-to-USB adapter. There are several on the market, but IOGEAR's adapter has Mac drivers for OS 9 and OS X. When I needed a modem for one of my B&W G3's, I considered buying one of the Global Village internal cards, but decided to use one of my US Robotics 56K v.90/x2 external modems, connected via USB with the IOGEAR adapter. My other B&W has the Apple internal modem card, but in terms of performance, the US Robotics is a little better. I've also used BestData's 56K v.92 (56USBPMAC) external USB (bus-powered) modem, which worked well and eliminated another power supply, crowding the surge protector.

Can't get my pci modem to work in the ms - 6215

does anyone know how to get my pci modem to work in a ms - 6215, I've tried everything that I can think of including installing a modem known to be good, since the motherboard is very unique in so that it has a riser that only has two pci slots on it and I've tried both of them, the os is windows me and when I first booted up all it found was an unknown pci card so I told it it was the modem and when I went to the modems in the control panel it tells me that it couldn't open the port even though the irq and com port info is the same in windows as to the post screen, the type of modem is a pctell 56k, and the guy who brought me this thing told me he didn't have the driver cd that came with it but since I have a external modem that worked with it I was able to update all of the motherboard drivers...
thanks

Audigy 1 Spontaneously Uninstalling, Phantom PCI Modem Shows

I have a weird problem happening with my Audigy card (XP Home SP2, motherboard is an A7N8X-E Deluxe). The other day when I reboot the machine, I was prompted to install a PCI modem. This was news to me since my machine doesn't have one! Then I noticed the sound wasn't working.
When I checked Device Manager, I saw this:
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/87/missing2tu5.png
Under "Other devices", there's a "PCI Modem" with a yellow exclaimation mark. Under SCSI and Raid controllers, the "Silicon Image SiI 32 SATARaid Controller" is also yellow (I don't use RAID). Under "Sound, Video and game controllers", both "Creative Game Port" and "Creative SB Audigy" show in yellow.
When I reboot, everything is fine:

Server 2012 Hyper-V locks up Virtual Server for no reason.

Server 2012 Hyper-V locks up virtual servers for no reason.
This is a production server. I began building this server in February. I installed the server in November. 2012 server R1 is full of bugs!
First who was the rocket scientist that decided that the TURN OFF function in Hyper-V means "Please turn off when the
F*#@$*% you feel like it"? Idiots!
I have a Supermicro server with perfect memory (for those who want to blame this on memory).
It is running 12 Virtual Servers. Every morning, at a random time, at least 1 of the servers lock up solid. Sometimes as many as 5 decide that for no reason they all want to lock up. The servers that lock up may be 1 or more: a database server, a terminal
server, an exchange server, a Windows 8.1 Ent VDI server, an IIS server, and or AD server. All 2012 R1.
They are running all current Microsoft and other vendor patches and hardware updates.
The only common denominator is the Hyper-V server.
I cannot shut them down using the Hyper-V manager. I cannot turn them off. I have a hundred users standing by while I nicely ask them to turn off. The VM will turn off after 20 minutes and a lot of gentle coaxing.
I cannot Kill the vmwp.exe process associated with the locked Virtual Machine.
No .DMP are created. No events in the event viewers. No reason at all. When they restart, there is no indication of a problem.
I ran two VMWP dumps and posted it here.
www.a1bcs.com/hyper-vlockup.zipx
Does anyone know why these are locking up?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Robert

I'm not positive of the cause but I was able to stop the problems.
It turned out that Network Load Balancing (NLB) between the two terminal servers and another between the two gateways was causing the lockups.
This is a normal configuration and it should work. Especially since Microsoft has seen fit to remove the DRAIN USERS function from RDP as well as the LOCK OUT till next reboot function. JUST FYI these functions are still available at a DOS prompt
by using the CHGLOGON command. But still the NLB also provides these functions.
Anyhow, once I removed the NLB I haven't had the lockups anymore.
That doesn't however change the fact that TURN OFF should mean TURN OFF not turn off please!
Thanks again,
Robert

875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
EDIT 2:
i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
(i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads 70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your ATI card.
make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
download radclocker and install it.
set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
explaination:
when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

PLZ. HELP !!! --- HOW TO Configure my "Internal PCI MODEM" in Sol9-X86.

Hi Folks!!
I am Karthi from India and have recently purchased Solaris 9 for X86 Platform.
I am really at a loss as to how to configure my Connexant-based Internal PCI MODEM.
Will Solaris 9 recognise my Connexant-based MODEM from an Indian company or do I have to purchase any other "Solaris 9 supported MODEM Chipsets"?
Can you please help me out by giving any weblink or brief steps to go about it.
I will be grateful to you and advance thanks to whoever is willing to help this helpless amateur.
Bye and have a nice day!!!

Ok here is a brief answer to your question if it is a Linux HCL modem then you can search on google or check out http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ for information.
If it is a winmodem then you pretty much have a worthless modem for running any type of Unix/Linux. However you should be able to buy a Serial Modem for around $30-$50 USD that is compatible with almost anything since they have been around forever and use a different communication scheme than PCI.

Si no tengo internet de Banda Ancha sino modem portátil puedo usarlo en TC? ?

YO no tengo internet de Banda Ancha, sino que me conecto a través de un modem portátil con conexión USB. Puedo por este medio sacar provecho de las opciones que Time Capsule ofrece usando internet? Gracias.

Bienvenido/a
Desafortunadamente, el Time Capsule debe estar conectado con el módem mediante un puerto Ethernet, que no tiene el módem USB. No puede usar el Time Capsule.
Hay algunos routers llamados MiFi en los Estados Unidos a los cuales se les puede conectar un módem USB y difundir su señal de Internet mediante Wi-Fi, por lo que podrá conectar sus dispositivos. Consúltelo con su operadora.
Puede que también encuentre otros modelos de router con esta característica. Por ejemplo, el router que suministra Movistar España (y también en Sudamérica) está provisto de un puerto USB para conectar un módem USB

Modem Port on iMac?

I know the intel iMacs don't come with internal modems, but do they have a modem port? I only have dial-up where I live, and my G5 is totally hosed. If I can't hook-up a modem, no mac for me.

The Apple USB modem does not seem to be offered by the Apple Store anymore, at least not the U.S. online store.
However, it is still available from other resellers
[Apple USB Modem - 56 Kbps Fax / modem|http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=safari&rls=en&q=appleusbmodem&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=9832728713848179501&ei=JxDQSvHCLYi6swOqwZDwCw&s a=X&oi=productcatalogresult&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CB4Q8wIwAw#ps-sellers]
There are also similar products from other companies; make sure it is described as working with Mac OS X.
You basically connect the modem, which is more of an adapter, to your iMac's USB port. Connect the other end to the phone line.

IMac11,2: How do you use internal modem without a modem port?

This is driving me nuts. How on earth do I dial up somewhere from my iMac, or even send or receive a fax, when there is no modem port to connect my modem lead to, and thus connect the Mac to a phone line?
I rang Applecare but they didn't even seem to know there was an internal modem on the Mac, or even how it used to work with a direct connection to the phone line. They seemed to think I could attach the modem lead to my router. But I rang BT re my Home Hub 3 and they didn't know either. There is no modem socket on the router.
So I searched Apple Support and found a reference on page 11 of the following manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMac_Early2009_UG.pdf
saying:
"To use a dial-up connection, you need the external Apple USB Modem, available from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on your iMac, and then use a phone cord (not included) to connect the modem to a phone jack"
But when I rang the Apple Store they said they didn't sell Apple USB modems. They, too, didn't seem to have any idea of what I was talking about.
I cannot be the only person in the world who wants to dial-up places from their Mac. There are three reasons for wanting direct dial-up:
1) Sending and receiving faxes
2) Connecting to a company server via dial-up (and I am talking a major national newspaper here, not a small outfit)
3) Using a dial-up internet service when the broadband goes down
All very good and important reasons for needing to be able to connect the Mac to the phone line, I am sure you will agree.
But how on earth do I do that now?
Thanks
Sarah

Shocked: No Modem Port!

got a new macbook a few days ago. was unpleasantly surprised to find out there was no modem port on it for dialup connection to the internet. what's the point of that? and what's the solution?

I just discovered this myself...
I have Wireless DSL at my house, but I'm house-sitting for a friend and wanted to check my email. So, my new MacBook Pro in hand, I was ready to use my "back-up dial-up" account (reserved for when DSL goes down or nothing else is available... rare, but it still occurs!) and discovered that there is nowhere to plug in the phone line. So, I had to wait until I could go elsewhere to go online.
Kind of a PITB (and a disappointment)... guess I'll either have to buy an external modem, or use my older laptop for such instances.
Even "on the road": not all hotels have wireless Internet, so I've had to rely upon "old faithful" dialup (with tweaked modem scripts for 112k analog service) on more than one occasion!
