Modem

[Astrid4564]

My modem is failing to initialize. It is connected, and should work, by all means. I've tried connecting a regular phone into the phone line, and that works. I get a dial tone. Same with the wall jack. So, what could the problem be?

Thanks,
Megan

if not,
are your drivers up to date?

No, I haven't used it during a storm, and yes, my drivers are up to date

What does your Device Manager show?

[Astrid4564]

Basically that I have a standard 56000 modem, and that all drivers are working
