Modems Connecting... - Nothing happens
I have checked in device manager and the modem is reported as working OK.
However, when trying to connect I get the message "Modems Connecting..." but nothing happens until it times out and you get the opportunity to repair. Windows then reports that there is nothing wrong. As I try to connect I get no sound from the modem but the phone works. Can anyone help please. Kind Regards Mick |

Kind Regards Mick I have registered just to post a reply to this as I also had this problem and have finally figured it out. In my case 'Operator-assisted calls or manual dialing' had somehow been activated for the dial up connection. To disable it, - Open 'Network Connections' - Select the dial-up connection, press the ALT key, click the Advanced menu, and then click Operator-Assisted Dialing. (If operated-assisted dialing is enabled, Operator-Assisted Dialing on the Advanced menu is selected.) For me, this solved the problem - the modem then dialed out as expected.
