From: dba on 4 May 2008 20:51 Have been using a dial up for many year. XP with 3com megahertz Lan + 56K Ethernet interface. Everything has been running fine. Until I recently installed a new driver for my Atheros wifi adapter. Since then I can not get my 3Com to work. Check the device manager which says everthing is fine and working. When I try to use system network page show connecting.... but it just times out. Have another disk I can put in and it works. Any ideas would be appreciated.

From: SteveL on 5 May 2008 22:16 This is a modem/lan PCMCIA card correct? Which device can you not get to work? the modem or LAN? If Lan then you have to disable the WIFI card because it is a Lan card as well and may have a conflict with IP addresses, either that or changed the IP address on the LAN card. If it is the modem then have you gone into device manager and run a diag on the modem, double click the modem in device manager single click the diag tab and run query, what is the response. Have you tried to disable the WIFI card and try again? Have you tried to install the card in another laptop and tested it?

Thanks for the assistance. Yes, it is a PCMCIA card. Modem card gives problem, have not tried lan. Have checked device manager and all system checks say the modem if functioning properly. The WIFI is internal but I did try the on/off switch. I am starting to think it might be one of the drivers I have loaded. When I have time I am going to try to uninstall some and see what happens. Again, thanks for the assistance. SteveL wrote: > This is a modem/lan PCMCIA card correct? Which device can you not get to > work? the modem or LAN?
