I recently upgraded a clients PC from ME to XP. When
trying to setup DUN using XP I get a message in the
dialup properties that states the device is missing
(COM1). The modem shoes up fine under the device manager
and queries OK. Another twist to this is that when I
setup an e-mail account using AOL, it seems to setup just
fine and will dial out OK. However when it dials, it
always dials 3 times before it connects (no matter what
order the numbers are in) before it will connect. After
it connects, I can see the e-mail but will not allow
internet access. When I go back to look at the
properties of the device (for AOL) it says "device
missing - com1". I've even put in a new USR modem. I've
seen this problem posted on other sites, but no one seems
to have the answer!!!
Can anyone help me with this????
