Modem Problem?

My friend is having a problem and he is too lazy to register here and ask. During a thunderstorm, my friend turned off his computer during this storm. The day after he turned his computer on and tryed to connect to the internet but that failed. He went to www.driverguide.com and got the latest drivers for his modem. That didn't work. He put the OS disk back in the computer and installed the drivers that were on that. That failed. He is running on Windows 2000 Pro.

Does anybody have an solutions for my friend's problem? Maybe he should buy a new modem because his current one is toast? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
 
What kind of modem?

Dial-up, cable, dsl?

Is he too lazy to call his ISP as well?

:cool:
 
could b fried..best 2 UNPLUG computer as well durin storm. but funny only modem not workin.
 
Modems toast

You friend may have unplugged the power but I'll bet a modem to a pic of kittens he didn't unplug the modem from the phone line.
 
My friend found out. It got shocked so he is purchasing a new one. btw it was a 56k.
 
Good deal, hope he gets it working okay, tell him to join or else !!!!!!!!


:cool:
 
One small bit of advice, just make sure he uninstalls the old modem drivers before putting the new on in, you can end up with all sorts of probs otherwise. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
