"Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"
Do you or do you not have an analog fax modem attached to an analog phone
line? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Kaz" wrote in message ... Thanks Russ, but I cant even open this fax program any more, all I get are error messages telling me that the printer has either lost its connection to the server or that the name of the printer is incorrectly typed. I dont know what I have done here, but I cant even find the fax program. I used to be able to go into communications or open an icon from the desktop but in the program list there is an fax listed but its empty, and when I try to open from the desktop using the icon this is when I get the error messages. I have also tried to unistall and reinstall several times but I dont even think that is working properly as it doesnt reinstall the fax and if it does its not installing it where it used to be and I cant locate it. How ever, when I right click on the desktop fax icon, i can go to properties, the detail box opens telling me there is a program there. From the general tab I can access Advanced, I can access the Advanced button from the short cut tab which does tell me that it has been selected to run in a Separate memory space if that means anything, but that area of this box is greyed out and cant be changed. I am wondering if some where along the line while trying to configure the network access point through the router that I may have selected something I shouldnt have, or used the windows network wizard and chosen to share the original fax file that was listed under my printer prior to understanding that XP Home does not have that facility to share a fax. If thats the cause or case i unfortunatley dont know how to undo this. The modem seems fine and prior to setting up and only using the ISDN for a stand alone connection things operated automatically. I didnt need to change modems or do anything unusual to accept or send a fax on or off line, and I also used the two chanels for the 128 speed connection that dropped back when one of the lines was in use etc. Boy!, this stuff has really got me bluffed, I thought i had done really well setting that networking up the way it ended up needing to be done but it looks like I blew it on the fax program LOL! I have obviously done something to disrupt or upset things, but due to so many attempts and different ways of going about the networking I have no idea where to start looking or how to go about finding the problem let alone fixing it. I went to device manager and found the Generic soft 56k I unistalled that and reinstalled it, but when this was being done I was online while doing this and it knocked me offline and upset the ISDN connection that was already running. Not sure if that is normal or acceptable but I ignored it and following this on attempting to reconnect ISDN I was then confronted with error messages telling me the port was being used by something else etc. I went through the device manager settings and looked at both the ISDN and 56k's settings but they didnt appear to be trying to connect to the same port, and there where no conflicts, so I couldnt understand that either. Anyway I shall soldier on as I am sure that eventially I will get to the bottom of it all i just hope thats its before i start turning Grey or being carted off to the funny farm. Thanks again Kaz |

"Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"
Hi Sorry I have been flat out working and got a few moments tonight to check back with you.
Yes there is an analogue modem, its built in to the PC and I do have a phone cable plugged into this. As I mentioned I used to use this before the Wireless access Point was set up on the PC. I also had ISDN connected then, about the only difference is this Access Point. I have the usual set up on the ISDN, two cables which run from the phone companies ISDN point on the wall, to the ISDN unit. Then a third that plugs to the PC by USB and provides the Internet etc. The Phone cable thats plugged into the Modem within my PC is the standard phone or modem cable. I can see my Analogue modem listed in Device manager, the driver is there and it seems to test OK when you ask it to comunicate with the system. How ever it no w bumps me offline if I do attempt to query it which is also something that didnt happen previously even with the ISDN before Wireless was set up. The Wireless Access uses one cable currently, as its a router which is really only being used as an access point, and that cable goes from the Routers LAN to the LAN on the PC. Its got me Stumped, and in a pickle as Its something I do rely on due to working from home. I am convinced its something to do with this new set up we have, as things go the Router is rightly designed for Broadband or cable and was not meant for an ISDN. Not unlike the ISDN working fine with the other internal modem still connected to the a phon e line. When I first connected with that 7 months ago, several people at telstra had told me that I wouldnt be able to use XP fax with it either, but I found you could as long as you didnt plug directly into the ISDN box and only into the PC's internal mo dem connection. I dont know, maybe I have just been snagging these set ups until now and managing to do things that technically shouldnt be happening "I am Blonde by the way" LOL. anyway thanks again for your help Kaz |

"Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"
I can think of no reason you shouldn't be able to use the same analog phone
line and analog fax modem with Win XP Fax as before you put in ISDN. But there is no way for me to guess what else has changed on your system that now prevents it. This is likely a hardware problem which we'd have no way of solving from here. Is your analog phone line entirely separate from your ISDN line? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Kaz" wrote in message ...

"Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"
Hi Sorry I have been flat out working and got a few moments tonight to check back with you.
Yes there is an analogue modem, its built in to the PC and I do have a phone cable plugged into this. As I mentioned I used to use this before the Wireless access Point was set up on the PC. I also had ISDN connected then, about the only difference is this Access Point. I have the usual set up on the ISDN, two cables which run from the phone companies ISDN point on the wall, to the ISDN unit. Then a third that plugs to the PC by USB and provides the Internet etc. The Phone cable thats plugged into the Modem within my PC is the standard phone or modem cable. I can see my Analogue modem listed in Device manager, the driver is there and it seems to test OK when you ask it to comunicate with the system. How ever it no w bumps me offline if I do attempt to query it which is also something that didnt happen previously even with the ISDN before Wireless was set up. The Wireless Access uses one cable currently, as its a router which is really only being used as an access point, and that cable goes from the Routers LAN to the LAN on the PC. Its got me Stumped, and in a pickle as Its something I do rely on due to working from home. I am convinced its something to do with this new set up we have, as things go the Router is rightly designed for Broadband or cable and was not meant for an ISDN.
