I have never had to touch, and I do not know what vci and vpi are. It is up to you what you do, but I think you may have less trouble if you can move the modem to the XP machine, if you can get the ME and XP machines to talk to each other correctly right now. Can you get the two machines to see each other yet? Did you change the settings, so they can talk, and did it work this time? Trevnal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug" <cbpr@xxxxxxxxxx> ----- Original Message ----- From: Trevnal Doug, do you have the install CD for the Modem, from when you had it delivered to you? If so it is nice and easy to set up on the XP machine. All you do is load the CD and follow the instructions. Once the install has ended, you would be better off to restart the PC, and then once it has all done, plus in the USB modem, and let it load the drivers etc off the computer, which it will do fine. That will then have the modem set up on the XP machine. As for your settings, this is nice and easy too. Using you ME machine, all you need to do is note down all the following, Username, and password (which you will need to remember, or change first) Your Email SMTP and POP settings. At worst, if we can get the two machines to talk and work fine, even with out the modem, you could download the drivers for the modem, and then copy them all over to the XP machine, and then install and move the modem. I am not going to be here after another hour I would guess as I want to go to bed. Trevnal The adsl cd is all in Spanish, I can do it, but it's a pain, plus if I remember rightly there's also some mucking about with bindings, vci and vpi. Is there no other way ? Doug.
