Default "Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"

I'm getting lost here. How many changes were made to your setup and at what
point did you first encounter fax problems? It sounds like you were able to
use fax fine with ISDN, but only ran into trouble after a wireless network
was installed. Is that right?
Most faxing operations begin the same way printing does, with a rendering of
the document; so fax may well be looking for a print routine.

Hi Russ

Yes the anolog phone line is a separate phone connection using the

standard phone cable but the two pin version as I was told they are best for
Pc's and have never possed as any problem in the past. The phone cable runs
from the outlet that telstra installed using the standard phone line
sockets, the ISDN runs from the same point but from the ISDN sockets so I
have four sockets in all, 2 ordinary phone line sockets and two ISDN
sockets. ISDN has been on for 6 months and since networking or setting up
the access point the fax has always worked with out any problems. I dont
plug my phone cables into the ISDN modem as it confuses the daylights out of
it and it tends to run as a 56k modem if I do. I plug the phone line for
the fax directly to the back of the PC (Internal Modem).
I think I just need to sort out if I did configure something durring

setting the access point up that has caused the fax to stop, or from what I
can see or understand from the error messages I receive is that its unable
to locat the "Printer" when I do attempt to open the fax. I dont think it
should be looking for a printer when I attempt to open the fax utility, so I
am starting to think there is nothing wrong with the hardware, its more than
likely something I did setting up, but I just dont know what to look for
aside the obvious stuff that I have already checked out.
any way thanks again
Kaz
