hai Pavel;
i went through device manager and by right clicking going on properties->Diagnostics->Querry Modem: this way.. the system makes some different kinds of AT commands and i checked them. the modem responds successfully to them.
Can you tell me what is a MULTIMEDIA AUDIO CONTROLLER. on the device manager i have a flag on this peice of hardware and i dont know what exactly it is???
is it possible that since i dont have an ethernet card on my system. may be there is no network adapter on my system.????
Do you have any idea where i could look for.. and what could be wrong??
thanks in advance..
