Hi,
I'm very new to Win 2000pro - having just upgraded from
Win 98. Everything is working nicely - but cannot connect
to internet. 2000 cannot find my modem OR finds it and
says it cannot connect. Anyone familiar with this? Where's
the first place I should look? Thanks in advance. And well
done for providing an excellent service! Best wishes, ph
 
Try going to the site of the company that manufacturers your modem and
download and install the latest drivers for your modem that work with Win
2k.

Thanks. But can't get 2k PC online to do this. Maybe I
could download (from my WinME PC) onto a floppy and
transfer? Will report back. Cheers,ph
 
Danny's reply is correct you'll want to check the hardware manufacturer's
web site for the latest Windows 2000 driver for your device. Off topic but
be absolutely sure you download and apply this patch before connecting any
"NTish" machine to any network which includes the internet.
