In the device manager under networking there is something called a dialup
adapter.
When I attemped to install the ethernet card this disappeared and the new
card appeared in its place.
The modem appeared in the device manager normally and appeared to be
working.
I removed the new card when it failed to work.
The dialup adapter stayed gone.
I was unable to connect to the internet using my modem. This worked before
the card install.
Unable to establish connection.
I deleted my connection and added a new one.
During the add my computer reported the dialup adapter missing and
reinstalled it.
I was then able to connect to the internet like normal.
My modem may have worked the entire time and my probems were due to the
dialup adapter.
Whatever that is.
I am going to try once more in a few days. I'll disable all the devices I
can first.
If it doesn't work then it may be time for a new computer.
