external modem

Hi
If u have an external modem connect it to your computer. It should connect to the COM port on ur computer.
Then start windows.
Turn on the modem.
Windows will auto detect the modem and will try to install the standard driver.
Here u specifythe path of the driver that came with ur modem.
If u donot have one, then install the standard driver, connect to the internet, go to the manufacturers site and download the driver.

Tell if u are succesfull .
Bye

First make a system startup disk (the modem installation will make changs)so donot use your system disk that you have created.

Install the modem cable to the computer port and the other end to back of modem

Connect the modem to phone cord to the wall. Plug cord into Line jack on the modem,If you want to use phone,use line that came with modem and run it from the phone to the jack on the modem labeled phone

Now plug the modem into wall outlet

Turn on computer and the modem.If the lights are working,proceed to install software.If they are not check all connections

Install the software by following the on-screen commands.

Choose COM port that corresponds to the port you plugged your modem into

If the modem is plug and play compatible,Windows Installation will walk you through installation.

Make sure you have a Modem cable that connects usually to the nine pin male connection in the back of your PC. If you have the installation disk with your modem, simply restart the PC, turn on the modem, the OS will detect the modem and ask for installation disk, insert the disk wether is floppy or CD-Rom and it will install it for you. Sometimes you need to direct it in the correct path to find the driver but for the most part it auto-installs.
Good Luck

remember to plug in the cable between modem and pc, and the most inportant is the power cord for the modem. make sure you turn it on. when you get into windows there will prompted a small windows indicating unknown device. choose next and put in your cd that came with the modem, then click browse into your cd and find the manufacturer name folder and then driver folder, find the win98se folder and double click it. after that let windows do the rest.
if you are unsure about this, you can alwayschoose using standard modem device. skip the step above by pressing Esc button when the unknown device windows then go into control panel and click add new hardware. follow the step and click next and you will see a yellow phone like logo appear on your screen, choose the install yourself and another windows will appear full with driver choose standard modem type, on the model screen choose either one of the 56kps and then choose which port you plug-in and after that you can create your internet connection, by clicking the ie icon, the rest is depend on you.
you can try to check if your modem is useable, go to the modem in the control panel, select the modem and then choose diagnostics, once again choose your modem and click on the more info button. you will notice that your modem light will start to blink, and there is result on your screen. thats mean you have install your driver correctly, if not try to remove the modem and add again
