modem noise! it's driving me crazy


Posted Friday June 30 2006, 4:54 am

Hey. I recently upgraded my OS to Windows XP professional, and everything was fine.. until I tried connecting to the internet. It seemed the modem drivers had mysteriously been deleted. Well, I no longer have the CD (I've had the modem and PC for 5 years) so I went to a internet cafe today, downloaded a few drivers from the website of my modem (Conexant Soft56k) and installed them. Only one of the drivers worked. All was good until I connected to the internet.. and there's this constant loud modem noise which I can't turn off. I've tried turning the modem speaker down.. to no avail. I've also tried the "Extra initialization" function by adding M0, L0, ATL0 etc.. and other combinations I've found on various places online.

Phone calls


Posted Wednesday June 28 2006, 5:18 pm

Ok,I have an adsl line, and I have a modem that is also a router so I can connect to the internet. Is there a way to connect a phone to the modem so that you make calls from the phone and not knock of the internet line?

How is this done, and do you have to pay more for such a thing? Is there anyway of doing it for free (besides paying for the dsl line)? Is it even possible?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Call Waiting for Computer


Posted Wednesday June 28 2006, 3:15 pm

I have a computer to myself I have dial up internet. I can't seem to get call waiting for it. Whenever I am online, it blocks any phone calls and my whole family complains that they are missing phone calls because of me being online. I don't know if I can get call waiting at all. My dad says we can't for some reason, but we have call waiting otherwise, like on our phone line we have it, so why can't we get it for the computer and being online. I was wondering, does it matter was kind of computer you have or does it matter what ISP you have. Is there any way I can allow it to kick me offline when someone calls?

Dell Latitude D610 laptop microphone?


Posted Tuesday June 27 2006, 11:54 pm

I know this sounds really dumb, but I was wondering how to tell if my laptop has a built in microphone? I have a Dell Latitude D610 and I know most laptops have built-in mics, but I don't know if mine has one. I've tried recording stuff but the computer didn't pick up on any noise.
Thanks so much in advance :)

Dial up AOL, and AIM


Posted Tuesday June 27 2006, 8:09 pm

I use dial up aol, but I was just wondering if I could use AIM also. Like I downloaded AIM on my computer, and my brother tells me I can use AIM as long as I'm signed in on AOL also. I tried using it, and everytime a pop-up said "The AIM service can't be reached" I don't use broadband, so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks so much♥

computer to laptop music issues


Posted Sunday June 25 2006, 7:26 pm

i just got a laptop for graduation, and i got itunes on it, but i cant transfer my music to it. i plugged my ipod in, but then when it says to transfer the music, it deletes my library on my ipod cus the library is blank on the laptop. its pointless to have my laptop without music on it, cus i wont use it much. my friend told me to download "ipodcopy" which is supposed to help you transfer songs, but it didnt work for me. i can play music with my ipod plugged, in, but i cant have my ipod plugged in the whole time. please actually tell me how to get music on, instead of just saying keep your ipod plugged in. thanks a lot.
