Hello, hello,

Not too long ago, the lightning paid my old ESS modem a visit. Needless to say, this was the end of the road for that modem.

Recently I got myself a new CNet dial-up modem.

I thought that everything would be hunky-dorey, but saydly, things are not... I cannot set up my internet connection.

I firstly removed the old modem drivers, and then installed the new ones.

Then I took the following path:

Control Panel>Internet Options>Connections>Setup>Next>Connect To The Internet>Set Up Manually

And then here is where the option to set up a dial up connection is like faded out (i.e. I cannot choose that option). Only the option to set up a broadband connection can be chosen.

Please help me to fix up this issue.

Thanks

P.S. I did query the modem, and it is detected by Windows.

I even uninstalled the modem drivers again during the week, and put the PC off for like 5 minutes, and when Windows XP started up, it detected that the modem drivers were not installed, and asked for them to be installed.
