Modem not working in T61p

Hi
I have a problem with getting my modem to work on my Lenovo.
It can't dial any numbers and does not even attempt to before telling me that it failed.
The driver version i have installed is  7.70.0.0 from 2007. There is a later version available for download but the installer fails on that one every time while copying files and stalls so i have to kill it and after that my cpu usage goes up to about 50%  because of mmc.exe.
If i try to remove my modem from the unit manager before installing the new driver the removing process dies after a few sec so that is not an sollution eighter.
The modem test in "lenovo thinkvantage toolbox" shows that all tests except for the "modemloopback" test is OK
What else can i do to get this thing working?
Thanks

smf, welcome to the forum,
it's been a while since I played with modems, but here goes. Please try the following;
in Control Panel > Phone and Modem please select the modems tab, ensure the modem is highlighted and then click on properties at the botton of the window. Select again the modem tab and then remove the "tick" in Dial control next to the message "wait for dial tone before dialling."
Hope this helps

  • ZTE AC2792 USB Modem Not working in RV215W

    Dear Sir/Madam
    Greeting's from Udayraj Rokad.
    I am Udayraj Rokad form India. I have RV215W Router of cisco. Recently i buy ZTE AC2792 USB Modem from MTS service provider company. But When i attached with router that modem not working because of USB module file . Please update and send us ZTE AC2792 USB module file so we can use that modem and enjoy internet speed .

    Hi Udayraj.  Unfortunately, cellular Internet access here in the US is not as prevalent as it is there in India.  Hence, there probably won't be any update to the router anytime soon.  My suggestion would be to use a supported usb modem or to get a different router to connect to the modem and then connect that router to the rv215.  Good luck!

  • WRT54GS with Mac OS 10.6.8 and RCN cable modem not working

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys WRT54GS, version 6 with Mac OS X (version 10.6.8) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic cable modem, with RCN as the ISP.
    Recently, RCN had some network issues, and so I had to power down and reset my modem. The modem is working fine now -- no problems at all when the Mac is connected direclty to the modem.
    The router's network is OK in that I can connect the Mac wirelessly to the network, but I can't connect to the internet through the router (through neither the wireless or wired connection).
    I have downloaded the latest firmware update for the router, following the Linksys site instructions, but this has not helped me solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I did call Linksys tech support on the advice of RCN, and they said that the router does appear to be working (power, WLAN, and Internet lights are on), but they would be charging me nearly the cost of a new router to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Since you upgraded the Router WRT54GS with the latest firmware so once reset the Router and power cycle the whole network… Then connect the Modem with Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect any one computer to any one of the Ethernet port on the Router [Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4]… Let me know the RCN connection is a DSL connection or cable connection…
    So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
    So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
    As far as the wireless is concern:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
    # Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
    # Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
    After doing the settings try to connect the preferred network on the wireless devices and check the connectivity….

  • On Screen Display not working on T61P running WXP SP2

    This started with an error on 'tponscr.exe' when I hit a volume button.  I reinstalled the Thinkvantage Hotkeys from the Lenovo site and I no longer get the 'tponscr.exe' error but the on screen display doesn't work (Volume does change tho).  The Fn keys also do not work as well.    System update also did not correct.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks,

  • Airport Express worked with previous ADSL modem, not working with new one

    hello all.
    maybe the majority of you people won't be able to help me, since i am in Brazil.
    this is the story:
    for the last 4 years i was a subscriber of the Speedy ADSL provider (in conjunction with the Terra content provider). the Sppedy service is part of the Telefonica telephone company and uses the regular telephone infrastructure to provide the ADSL signal thru telephone lines.
    approximately 2 years ago i bought an Airport Express and set it up with the ADSL modem that Speedy provided to me. configuration was a breeze and it worked flawlessly since then.
    as of last thursday (april 7th) i became a subscriber of the Ajato ADSL provider. the Ajato company is part of the TVA (cable tv) company and uses the TVA cable tv infrastructure to provide the ADSL signal.
    the problem is: when i connect the Cisco DPC3000 ADSL modem to my Macbook via ethernet cable, i can surf the internet with Ajato with no problems. but when i connect the modem to my Airport Express (even though i have reset AE in order to clear the previous Speedy/Terra configuration), i get no internet in my home wireless network.
    i know you guys don't have Ajato there, of course. but i suppose some of you might have faced similar problems in similar cable ADSL environments.
    this said, any kind of help or hint is greatly appreciated.

    First that Cisco DPC3000 is a cable modem, not a ADSL modem. You probably don't need the DSL configuration that you had before.
    when i connect the modem to my Airport Express (even though i have reset AE in order to clear the previous Speedy/Terra configuration), i get no internet in my home wireless network.
    How did you "reset" the AE? How is it configured now? You probably need a setting of "Connect Using:" "Ethernet", rather than the "PPPoE" setting you may have had before.
    If everything else looks good, it's common to have to reset a modem when switching what device is connected to it. Try powering down the modem for a few minutes. If it has a reset switch, press that.

  • N80 blue tooth & modem not working after severe hi...

    My N80 was involved in an accident where th phone was hit from the front. The screen was replaced by Nokia in Melbourne and all was tested ok (not sure how ok). After a few months I decided to use the phone, the BT and modem is not connecting to any devices.
    The cable connection works, but when I try to BT or connect to a hot spot, it does not work.
    Is ther any way to test if the modem is damaged and can it be replacred?

    Do you mean WLAN when you say modem? Easiest was to check if either is working is to scan, either scan for WLAN or scan for BT devices when you know that there is something around. For example you should see lots of BT devices in office or the bar.
    If you can't see anything after a few attempts then sounds like it got broken.

  • Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.2

    Folks,
    A friend of mine just installed 10.5.2 on his G4 Tower which has an Apple Internal 56k modem.
    The modem was working properly under 10.4.11.
    Now that he is using 10.5.2 the modem will not dial.
    Network (in System Prefs) sees that there is a modem, since it allows him to create an Internal Modem connection, but it will not dial the modem.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? Any solutions out there?
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Tony, 
    The +Intel iMacs+ don't have internal modems so you probably won't get much help around these parts. Try posting over in the PowerMac G4 forums:

  • Bluetooth modem not working

    Dear all,
    I am rather confident that this is a problem with my Windows XP box, but since it is appearing with my E90 communicator, it be best posted here!
    The problem I have suddenly appeared (not for the first time, but this time uncurable). When connecting my laptop to the internet via the E90 using bluetooth, the One Touch Access software give the error
    Failed to connect to the network! The modem may be used by another application or the modem may not be configured properly.
    I tried the following to resolve this:
    - reboot both devices
    - reinstall pc suite
    - uninstall the modem drivers
    - change the modem port from 16 to 100
    The system log tells me that
    Das Öffnen des Modems ist fehlgeschlagen. Fehler: 00000079
    (Failed to open the modem. Error 0*79).
    Ah yes, of course everything works fine with USB. And, until a few days ago, the bluetooth modem also worked, but stopped working without me installing software or changing the system drastically.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    I have the same problem with an E70 phone. I had PC Suite 6.86 installed, but that totally jammed the computer (Word and Excel files and My Computer took about 1 minute to open. After uninstalling PC connectivity solution and Nokia PC Suite the problem was "solved").
    I downgraded to version 6.84 which made the computer respond normally again, but now I get this error when trying to connect GPRS (or 3G...)
    "The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly."
    Also, all calendar and concat items are now doubled in the phone.. help me Nokia!
    Anyone has any solution for the bluetooth modem thing? I use the number *99# to connect to the phone modem via bluetooth.

  • Arris Cable Modem not working with WRT54G Router

    I am at my wits end.Comcast just changed my old RCA cable modem for an Arris Telephony modem.(I had Comcast phone service added)The tech that did the install said the wireless G network was all up and running. (My 3 other computers and printer) Well lo and behold the network does not work at all. I only get internet through my wired computer and cannot access my router through 192.168.1.1 anymore.I tried powering down the router and modem by holding the reset for 30 seconds and unplugging them. Any help GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanx!

    ok man, good new and bad news. Good news, i know what ur goin through cause i have the exact same problem. Tried a new router too (wrt54g to no avail). Bad news i have no idea how to fix it. I've tried everything. Linksys tech support hasn't emailed back after their originaly fix which did nothing. Please PM me if you get any ideas. Ps Have you noticed that when the setup page times out you can't get an ip wirelessly. Also, my temporary fix is power cycling. Somtimes it works for a few days, or sometimes a few hours.

  • Alcatel X221S USB modem not working on Yosemite

    Hello,
    I' ve just installed Yosemite on my macbook pro
    and my Alcatel X221S USB modem is not working.
    When connected it installed the dashboard but
    then after restart it didn't turn on( instead it wanted to
    install again all package ).
    When I open it from programs it opens( but doesn't respond ).
    All the settings for connection are still in network preferences
    but when I try to connect from there it says that the device doesn't exist
    ( the system doesn't see it ).
    I tried to install Modem Driver Universal( it's for all alcatel modems
    working on mac 64 bit but for Lion os ) from producer's website
    but it's not working as well.
    The modem is 6 years old and worked well on SnowLeopard,
    but now I don't know if I should wait for producer to release new drivers
    or buy a new one.
    So far no seller was able to assure me that their usb modem would work
    on Yosemite.
    So if anyone knows something how to make alcatel work on yosemite,
    or has USB modem working on Yosemite( without playing with Terminal or
    something like that ) please answer!
