Faxes and dial up connection
-----Original Message-----
You cannot use XP fax program through another computer.
It has to use a
anolog modem with an anolog phone line going to the
computer the XP fax
program is on..

You need to provide far more detailed information about
your fax software
and how it is configured and your dial up ISP
connection
and how it is
configured.
Fax and dial up internet connections can both use the
same analog phone
line, but obviously not at the same time.

On a dedicated phone line--Dial up connection and
remote
connection work if Fax isn't installed. But when I
set
up
fax and try a dial up connection, it will not
connect.
Can they exist on the same phone line? Help.
.Thanks for trying to help. On the Faxes--I used the
wizard from windows xp professional--Went to add/remove
windows components and followed the directions. Fax
worked fine.
The dial up is not through an ISP--it is just a direct
dial up from home to my office computer over phone
lines,
then using remote desktop. The office computer acts
like
it is trying to answer a fax rather than my home
computer.
Also, I tried setting the fax to manuel and it won't let
me answer that way.
If I disable fax, the dial up works fine. There is some
type conflict in the actual answering.
.
To Clarify--not trying to send a fax through the dial up.
When I am back at work on the computer that was being
dialed into from home...the fax will not answer if it is
set to manuel answer. If the computer at work is set to
auto answer and I am at home trying to dial into the work
computer it tries to answer like it is a fax. I get a
failed fax message at the work computer and the home
computer says it could not connect.
