If you google:
connected "no internet" usb modem
You will get many threads of this situation.
Many right here on sevenforums.
I have tried with windows firewall, on and off.
In fact I might have to start over because I think I may have gotten a vgrabber while running with it off.
I did run Win7 SP1 offline install, and will try to go through win update.
It is very hard to do this when the modem stops transferring.
thanks again.
Hmm, 2 PCs with same computer name? That can cause problems but not sure if this is your case. Would you rename one of them? Say, AMD-PC2.
I can, but they are never connected to each other.
I actually have two phones that I use in this manner. (motorola usb modem)
I can use both at the same time, dialing the same number. They key off the ESN number in the phone.
Laptop is only one with issues.
If I figure this out I'm going to re-install Win7. I think trying to diagnose with firewall off has let some bugs in.
If you have time to check out any other threads for comparison it would be appreciated.
As Win7 is not an official operating system for this laptop, it may be a driver issue ???
I might try the oldest driver I have to see if it helps. I have been using newer Win7 drivers from Motorola.
If I can dig up an extra drive, I will re-install XP to try and see if the problem is with the PC or Windows.
Do you think that will help?
PS. I'm on dialup right now. No issues. They are both set to public networks and share the same rules.
That should rule out firewall right?
I haven't seen any confirmation about these, so posting again:
Another approach:
Download DriveCleanup from Drive Tools for Windows
Remove the modem, restart PC
Run DriveCleanup as admin
Restart and run CCleaner and fix registry
Restart and re-install modem
Also try deleting Upper/Lower Filters if above fail:
Step by Step Guide to Deleting the UpperFilters and LowerFilters Registry Values - delete the filters for modems first and if that fail delete the USB host controllers and hubs. Make sure you backup the registry as described in the tutorial.
With the holiday, I haven't had a lot of time. I was able to download the files but I had pulled the HDD.
I did find the original XP HDD and installed it.
The first time I tried it connected but didn't transfer anything.So I unplugged and put back in, and re-dialed.
It worked for about 5 minutes. When it stopped responding,
I opened a new window but clicked the stop button; then hit the refresh and it worked again.
In fact, it worked for about 2 hours. That's when I grabbed the files you listed.
Now I have the Win7 HDD back in, and tried a couple more things.
here is the route print from a diagnose trouble link:

Attached is a resource monitor snip while it was working.
I should say I still using IE v8 as I can't get winupdate to stay connected.
One last thing and then I will run the cleaner as soon as I can.
I opened IE and it started to load a page but stopped. When I tried the troubleshooter, I selected to search the
Microsoft community. I got the "get me out of here" warning. After I clicked to allow, it starting working again!!
Are there any internet options e.g. active X blocking that could be causing this?
BTW, win update still hasn't finnished generating a list before things stop.
thanks again for all your time.
What does Action Center complain about? Is Windows up-to-date?
I found drive cleanup, and device cleanup.
What is CCleaner ?
DriveCleanup only.

Progress made!!
I had to install Office 2010, could that have updated any files related to this issue?
Anyway, after running the cleaner when I plugged the modem in it was recognized and installed itself.
Meaning the drivers were still there. The problem persisted.
So I went into device manager and removed the modem.
Doing it this way a popup asked if I also wanted to remove the drivers. I said yes.
I then installed much older drivers from 2008. So far it hasn't stopped transfering.
Every once in a while it disconnects, but that has always happened on all computers. The difference is now
I can just redial, without the need to unplug the modem.
A remaining problem is that windows update is not working. It just sits on the "checking for updates" page.
I have let it run for over 1/2 hour.
All in all things are looking up, and I really thank you for all your help.
:)
