Send a message via ICQ to dennis5692
modem and comport

Hi,
I am trying to install a V.92 ActionTec internal modem.
The problem that I am having is that the computer keeps assigning Com4 to it.
I always use com3.for my modems.
I have tried to change it to com3 using properties,
but it does not let me change it. I am using WindowsME

Does any one have any suggestions?

Thank you,
Dennis

I've had my modem on COM1, 2, 3, and 4 and they've worked on all ports (when I had the right dirvers installed )

That Actiontec is probably a controllerless model. Com4 should work fine. I haven't seen jumpers on a modem in a while. Certainly not on any v.92s. Let us know if having it on Com4 is causing problems.
