If you have followed the steps above, and you still receive the same error message, there may be a a problem concerning the drivers of your modem or ISDN card.

If you use a modem, you will have to establish your modem speed first. The most common speeds are 33k6 and 56k. The latter come in three varieties: 56k/Flex, 56k/X2 and 56k/V.90. Information about your modem type, can be found on the box or in the documentation of your modem.

If you do not have these at your disposal, try the following:

Go to My computer.

Double-click on the Control Panel.

Open the item Modems.

Select your modem.

Click on Properties.

Here you can find information on your modem and in most cases the modem speed.

Click OK to close the network screen.

Or decrease your modem speed. You can do this as follows:

Go to My computer.

Double-click on the Control Panel.

Open the component Modems.

Select your modem. Next, click on Properties.

Decrease the current speed (recommended speed: 57600 for a more stable connection).

Click OK to close the network screen.

Click OK to close the modem screen.

Or enter an initalisation string. You can do this as follows:

Go to My computer.

Double-click on the Control Panel.

Open the component Modems.

Select your modem. Next, click on Properties.

Go to the Connection tab.

Click on the Advanced button.

Here you can enter an initialisation string in the Extra Settings box. Every modem has specific initialisation strings. You can probably find the strings that are appropriate for your modem in the manual of the modem.

This is an overview of general, commonly used initialisation strings:

ATZ

AT&F

AT&FZ

AT&F+MS=V34 (for 56k modems only!)

AT&F+MS=11,1 (for 56k modems only!)

AT&F&C1&D2B0

AT&F&C1&D2B0+MS=56,1 (for 56k modems only!)

AT&F&C1&D2B0+MS=56,1,34000,56000 (for 56k modems only!)

AT&F&C1&D2B0+MS=56,1 (for 56k modems only!)

There is a possibility that your modem will no longer react after an initialisation string has been entered (Error 630). If that is the case, please remove the initialisation string. If you are using an internal modem, restarting the computer will be required. In case of an external modem, you can just switch the modem off and on. You can then try using a different initialisation string.

Several strings exist for each modem type. A number of strings can usually be found in the documentation that comes with the modem. If the strings mentioned above do not help, you can try to find other strings that do function with your modem.
