Question about U.S. Robotics US Robotics Sportster 56K V.90 External Modem (USR568603)

Open Question

We have a 3com office-connect external 56k modem, plus the internal modem that came with the computer. Internal modem dials internet service/email works fine. On the same line, the external modem calls a credit card service for authorizations. Suddenly, after years, the 3-com modem starts to act funny - not sensing dial tone, or dialing half the number then dropping, or dialing and dropping the line. When we moved the entire system to another home in another town, it worked fine. Is it possible that telephone line noise will effect this 3-com external more that the internal modem to the internet?

SOURCE: Modem not recognized

This could be one of many things, but my first suggestion is this.

Open up your Device Manager:

Right click My Computer and select Properties - click on the hardware tab - click the Device Manager button.

Inside your Device Manager check to see if your Modem has a yellow or red icon next to it...

If so open the properties for your modem and click on the resources tab. This page will tell you if the devices IRQ number is conflicting with any other devices.

If the IRQ number is the problem try changing it, then re-booting your computer.....

Made unsuccessful attempts to connect to the Internet using the dial-up modem. The internal modem came installed on my original PC and is a Smart Link 56k Modem. What do I do?
Can we have more information about the problem you have when attempting to connect ? The error code and message would me very useful in your case.

For example :
1. If it says the modem is already in use, go to "Network connections" or "Network and sharing center" and delete all existing dial-up connections, then create a new one based on the settings your internet provider gave you.

2. It might be a problem with the login and password. Write both in Notepad on the computer, then copy and paste the information in the required fields in the connection window.

3. It might also be a problem on the telephone line. Try another computer with dial-up modem known to work properly. If the problem repeats on that computer, the problem is on the telephone line. You will need to contact your provider to fix the problem.

The SB4100 is a digital modem that uses cable TV network to provide broadband Internet access, it can't work with an analog telephone line, for this type of Internet access (also called switched Internet connection), you need an analog internal or external 56K modem, and also you'll need a user name and password (an account) from the Internet provider service (ISP) ; for a temporary Internet connection maybe a prepaid cellular modem (GPRS, EDGE, 3G or 4G) USB type could help you better.

I just put in a new 56k internal modem and its working but I can only connect at 33.1 kbps
It probably is not your modem at all. Usually its limited by the computer or ISP you are connecting to, If possible i would try changing the # that you are dialing into and see if you connect at a faster speed. One thing to check is to go to device manager and click on properties on the modem and make sure it is set to max 56K Hope this helps you.

I know this is a stupid question...but does my laptop need to have an internal modem to connect to the internet
well according to the specs i saw it already has a wireless lan card, an ethernet card, and a old school phone modem jack, so you should be good. are you having issues connecting to the internet via wifi?

Internet connection
1. Power off the modem. 2.Restart your computer. Allow the system to stabilise and switch on the modem after about 10mins. Check for connection. If nothing happened after all this, then go to Device Manager and scroll down to Modem. Click the plus sign and lookup for that particular make. It may be disabled. If disabled, simply right click and select Enable and wait for about 5mins to login. Good luck

It doesn't matter if you use an internal or external modem. I would just look for something fast and cheap, probably at a shop that deals with old systems as trades, etc. You should be able to find 56K internal modems for a couple of bucks. But remember, dial-up is dial-up and it will take forever to do anything on the net. You may want to consider picking up a cheap 10/100 Ethernet adapter instead and connecting via DSL or cable to get anything more than basic e-mail and simple web browsing.

And the OS support is no longer there for a machine this old; Win2K is pretty much the limit and that would probably run like a dog. And it isn't even supported by MS any longer.

My dial up internet connection only works once after i reboot. my provider has checked all the connections and said it is an internal problem.can i download a fix for my modem? max20002
I might advise you to download the driver of the modem and reinstall it to the computer, then create a new connection for dial up connection.

Dial up Modem
Dial up modems have 2 phone line connections side by side in the back of a desktop, one is for the wall, other is for your telephone. Laptops have just one phone line connector. Look closely at the little symbols by the connection holes. If you don't have one, Modems (internal or externally mounted), are on eBay, buy a 56K with drivers on disk for your operating system. A few modems can be installed using Windows default drivers (drivers are software operating programs that tell your computer how to regulate and operate a device).

Modem not working
Try downloading the modem drivers from here:

http://smartdownloads.net/download-25146.html

This is supposed to be the latest driver software for SmartLink modems for XP. (I know, if you can't get online, you can't get to the website to download! You probably have a friend or neighbor who can download it for you, then put it on a flash drive to transfer to your computer.)
