Modem problem with Presario 1810 laptop
Hi,
I have a Compaq Presario 1810 laptop and I’m having problem with the configuration (detect) of the internal modem in Win2k, as you know it originally comes with Win98. I have tried with many drivers and I couldn’t get it work for me (don't detect it). Can someone help me with this problem?.., what is the correct driver?. Thanks in advanced, Porthos |

You will need to purchase a PCMCIA modem that comes with W2K drivers. None
are available for the internal modem since W2K is not a supported OS on the 1810. HH "Porthos" wrote in message lkaboutcomputing.com...

You are better off getting a Pcmcia modem. Something in the 1810 bios doesn't allow Win2K/XP to set the resources for the modem. If you even try to set the resource manually it too won't work. Even the most current lucent/conexant driver will not work either. Just an aside, if you have to do a warm restart in Win2K does your system freeze when it attempts to reboot and the only way to clear it is to power off and then on again? I could never solve this problem on the 1810. I had the same problem when I tried running Linux and BSD too on the 1810. However, WinNT 4.0, Win98, and WinME had no problems restarting from a warm boot. I eventually gave up and traded my 1810 at a local computer shop for a used Armada M700. It works quite nice with Win2K and Linux. =) |
