Pecular Win2k DUN problem

[radu185 0]

My Windows 2000 Pro has recently devloped a strange little DUN problem....

After a hard reboot, I connect to the internet flawlessly. It also disconencts flawlessly........

The problem comes when I try to re-connect.

It proceeds up to the point where it says "Verifying User name and Password", then it simply stalls. After a couple mins(anywhere from 2-5), it disconnects with the following error: "Error 619: The Specified Port is not connected"

I figures out what the error means, and what Win2k says I should do to fix it, which is "reboot your computer to make sure configuration settings take effect" So i reboot, and it works fine again till i want to reconnect again without rebooting..... It'd begenning to drive me crazy!

Win2k first did this about 4 days ago.

I lived with it for 2, then formatted and reinstalled from scratch, and it was fine up until about 3 hours ago(Aug 22nd)when the problem came back up again!

 

Heres my hardware if it helps

Celeron 366

128mb RAM

Intel MU440EX mobo

Aztech 56k PCI winmodem(i know, yuck!)

PCI Voodoo Banshee 16mb

Matrox 10gb

Yamaha ymf740

 

oh ya, i even uninstalled the modem(and delted driver files) and let windows reinstall from the CD(no latest drivers.....Aztech doesnt seem to know what Windows 2000 is.....Bastards)

I also tried it with an old ISA 288 i have lying around.... so I have a feeling its windows itself being stupid, not my hardware.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well after doing a quick lookup of your modem I find that it is an Lucent modem manufactured by Aztech. Are you using the latest Lucent driver version? See Lucent modems are software modems and they rely on a driver to interpret normal phone commands from the system and change them into the actual tones on the phone line. Lots of times what happens is something in this driver messes up. When that happens you normally have to just simply remove your modem from the modem control panel and reboot. Then Windows will reinstall the modem and write over the current files and reinitialize any possible support files that it may be using

Gee, I was reading this BBS to see if I could find a problem similar to mine, and there you go.

 

I had EXACTLY the same problem.

 

Now I reinstalled win2k - the prob is gone.

 

I was using sp1, dx8beta, IE 5.5.

My specs:Gigabyte 7-IX, 128Mb, K7 700, G400 DH 32Mb, Sblive, Diamond Supraexpress 56k external. Latest drivers and bios for everything.

 

Now I wonder what the problem is, it was really anoying having to reboot every time I wanted to reconnect to the internet...

JediBaron i wish it were that simple......

Ive tried that many times, even tried a diff PCI slot AND an ISA hardware modem.....

Neither one solved the problem.

 

I'm getting ready to do a full format this time, and see if that fixes it(last time i just deleted win2k and fdisk/mbr because i didnt want to loose my stuff)

I don´t think it´s a modem specific problem, I have a completly diferent hardware platform and an external hardware modem and had the same problem.

 

Only a fresh install cured it.
