Dial up issue

Nem said:

Welcome to the forums desouzaalex,

I to am using dial-up as my area hasn't gotten high-speed yet. ...Have you've updated the modem driver? also is it a external USB.. or?.

Thank you, man.

It's the same about me, no high-speed in my city yet. Yeah, I tried updating the modem driver. And it's PCI, as I said.

also tell me the config that you have it set up as

What you mean? I just used the dial up connection wizard and put on the ISP phone number and username and password.

Don't get upset.. Relax... Did you at some point buy a modem? We just need the model number of the model? There isn't one in the motherboard. You can check for yourself.

Sorry, man, didn't mean to sound upset.

Also didn't mean I have an onboard modem. I use PCI modem. I can't recall right now its model, I only know the brands. I have to modems: conexant and intel. I'll try to get the model.

Okay sorry :), Right-click the network icon in your system tray, you dial-up connection should be in the connection list..right-click on it and hit status..it should bring up a different window..on that window hit properties..then there should be 5 tabs

General, Options, Security, Networking and Sharing..Give the settings on each tab except Sharing(I don't need that one.)

EDIT: Because i remember accidentally messed with a setting on these tabs and i had same problem you have now, lol.

Ok. I will boot up in Windows 7 to get the screenshots.

You could also try to goto Device Manager and uninstall the modem there and have windows 7 reinstall it again. :)

First pic is to show how the receive data freezes right after connecting.

Hey, you guys, I've solved it!

I decided to boot up to try some changes more and found out what was going on:

As I have 56k connection, I use this program called NetLimiter (google it) where I can see whatever is sucking my connection and limit or block any application's bandwidth. So, very useful for whoever has dial up connection. It's like a sort of firewall.

So, yesterday I realized svchost.exe was sucking my connection and just added rules to block its bandwidth. That's what caused all this. I deleted the rules and it's working again!

Thank you very much, guys!

Glad you found out what caused it. :)
