What version level is your operating system, I hope it's past service pack 2
it sounds as if TCPIP is not installed, as you do not show a LAN connection
installed.

The original WinXP release had to have 'something' set manually in
order for WinXP installation to recognize modem.

I think it was the 'autodetect' feature, and must be done BEFORE
installing modem.

Sorry, don't remember, because I don't use the WinXP system

The group here will remember.

Your suggestion doesn't apply in this case, as she is not using a modem per
