Modem
I have a Dynalink 56k Modem and I have installed is successfully and
connected to the internet and it works fine, but if the computer is turned off or restarted and the modem is not turned on before hand the modem is not present in the device manager. If the modem is turned on and in device manager you scan for hardware changes the modem appears and works fine. The modem is installed on the COM 2 port. If you go to the phone and modem options in control panel the modem is installed if you go to the modems tab, but under the "Attached To" heading is says "not present". Now this issue can be resolved by simply turning the modem on before the computer has booted up or scanning for hardware changes once the computer is turned on with the modem on. I was just wonding if the modem could be made work without having to do this. The operating System is Windows XP home edition with SP2 Installed. |

Modem
Probably not, the modem has to be ON to be seen during the
boot. An internal modem is always powered ON when the computer is turned ON, but an external modem isn't. You might inquire from Dynalink if they have any solutions. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

Any easy solution would be a new modem; they're real cheap. If you have no room for a PCI modem, get an external USB model that's powered from the USB port. Otherwise, remember to turn your modem on, just leave it turned on, or plug it into a powered outlet so that it turns on when the computer is turned on. |

Modem
Not with that modem. If you want "hot plugging" PnP, you are going to
have to invest in a USB attached modem. Otherwise leave the serial modem turned on, and it won't be an issue.
