Hello;

I have a Win2k computer that I'm in the process of transferring files from it to a new Win7 machine. In trying to get the new and the old to talk to each over a Lan I apparently disabled something...the modem on the old win2k no longer connects.

More precisely, the modem is correctly installed and can connect to my ISP via Hyperterminal (using Com3 which is what modem is set to.) Yet, using the regular way of connecting to the internet, the modem will not even reach the dial-tone point. Instead it gives "Error 628: The connection is closed". I'm not sure (it goes by too fast) but I think it says "opening port"

Help, please....

Michelle

From the Connections Tab in the Start Menu and have a look in there make sure that it is set as the Default Internet Connection.

It sounds as if somehow you have altered it from the Default Internet Connection. ;)
