PIII 800MHz machine with 384mg ram, clean install of Windows 2000 with all updates and service packs. There are 4 pci slots and the brand new modem is not seen in any of them. I thought it might be a bad card so I took it back, got another (same make and model) and got the same result.
In device manager there is no modem listed, scanned for new hardware after inserting in each of the pci slots. I thought that maybe it needed drivers to be seen, but the installation disk exited saying that no device was detected. The slots work as there is a nic card loaded and recognized. I tried the nic in all the slots and it was seen and worked fine in each.
Took the second card back and the store installed it in an XP machine and I am wiping the egg of my face because it showed the new hardware window and the drivers loaded from the CD with no problem. I am heading back there on Monday because I want their technician to load it in a Win2k machine.
Until then, any ideas on why it was not seen?
Thanks
