Fax Server Information Cannot be Retrieved

Hello,

I tried turning off the Windows firewall and it is still giving me the same
error message. Also, I tried rebooting the system after turning off the
firewall, and i'm still getting the same error.

Where's your troubleshooting info that you have posted?

Hello,

I am experiencing the same problem too. I bought my computer 2 months
ago,
preloaded with Windows XP SP2. I do not have any Norton AV or any other
AV
installed because I haven't got around to purchase one yet. I am using
the
firewall that is included with Windows.

I am trying to send a fax from the fax console. I press the "New Fax"
button, the fax wizard pops up. I press the "Next" button and the error
message pops up - "Fax server information cannot be retrieved. The fax
wizard will close now." I have check all the configurations for the fax
modem - Lucent Win Fax modem and it's working properly. I was not
connected
to the internet while using the fax feature.
Fax printer status is local and online.

I'm running a P4 3GHz, with Windows XP Home edition.

environment: I'm running a single standalone PC. I've checked my fax
configuration: AOK but it has the Microsoft Shared Fax Driver and in
"Properties" it says that "Sharing is not available for this type of
printer." Q. Why would I want to share it on a standalone PC? I send and
receive faxes intermittently; but this worked fine prior to installing
SP2
and SP3. I would appreciate some guidance how I can cure this problem,

I've been having this problem, too, almost every time I try to send a fax.
The only workaround I've found is to uninstall the Windows fax component,
re-boot, and re-install it. Goling through all that almost every time I want
to send a fax is a big pain to say the least, but at least it works.

Neil

same problem i am having. Hope there is a fix soon.

Hi Russ,

Just checking to see whether the developers have managed to come up with a
solution, yet. I have to say I'm finding it increasingly irksome not being
able to receive/send faxes.

Regards.

No, I have (not to my knowledge!) ever connected to a "shared fax server"

You can alternately right click on these files on explorer and send us

Nothing recently. Last I heard they were convinced it is an issue that
arises with several AV or firewall programs. Remind me which you're
using.

Hi Russ,

Just checking to see whether the developers have managed to come up
with a
solution, yet. I have to say I'm finding it increasingly irksome not
being
able to receive/send faxes.

Regards.
Phil

Excellent.
Information is on its way to the developers. They just told me they
are
on a
3 day weekend and won't start working on it until Monday.

I still don't think the AV and firewall are to blame. I bought my computer
new with only Windows XP Home Edition SP2 installed and no other software
(see previous postings). I tried turning off Windows XP firewall and it
still produced the same problem. I do not have an AV yet, but I should be
getting an AV software soon.

I've sent the information to Microsoft.
They tell me they're making progress but still don't have it solved.

Sorry for taking so long. I was away for the long weekend.

My computer does not have the file "filever.exe" to search for the file
versions.

Hello,

I tried turning off the Windows firewall and it is still giving me
the
same
error message. Also, I tried rebooting the system after turning off
the
firewall, and i'm still getting the same error.

Where's your troubleshooting info that you have posted?

See if turning off the Firewall temporarily changes anything.
If not, then you'll need to obtain the troubleshooting information

Hello,

I am experiencing the same problem too. I bought my computer 2
months
ago,
preloaded with Windows XP SP2. I do not have any Norton AV or
any
other
AV
installed because I haven't got around to purchase one yet. I am
using
the
firewall that is included with Windows.

I am trying to send a fax from the fax console. I press the "New
Fax"
button, the fax wizard pops up. I press the "Next" button and
the
error
message pops up - "Fax server information cannot be retrieved.
The
fax
wizard will close now." I have check all the configurations for
the
fax
modem - Lucent Win Fax modem and it's working properly. I was
not
connected
to the internet while using the fax feature.
Fax printer status is local and online.

I'm running a P4 3GHz, with Windows XP Home edition.

Hi, I've recently (since installing Windows XP Pro SP2; and MS
Office
SP3)
run into a problem with my fax. Briefly, every time I now try to
send
a
fax
the wizard opens and I receive the error message: "Fax Server
Information
Cannot be Retrieved. The Wizard will now close." I've done quite
a
lot
of
research on the net re. this issue and can see that many people
are
experiencing a similar problem; but these seem to be related to
a
network
environment: I'm running a single standalone PC. I've checked my
fax
configuration: AOK but it has the Microsoft Shared Fax Driver
and
in
"Properties" it says that "Sharing is not available for this
type
of
printer." Q. Why would I want to share it on a standalone PC? I
send
and
receive faxes intermittently; but this worked fine prior to
installing
SP2
and SP3. I would appreciate some guidance how I can cure this
problem,
please. Oh, tech' details a OS: Windows XP Professional
Service
Pack 2
(build 2600); 2000 megahertz AMD Pentium 4; 1024 Megabytes
Installed
Memory;
Microsoft Shared Fax Driver on SHRFAX; CNXT V9x PCI Modem. Sorry
to
go
on,
guys, but this is driving me insane!
