modem problems

ok, ive tried everything i can think of and i still can't get one of the company computers online... we have dial up, as internet access isn't really an option (don't ask its pathetic).. anyway.. my father's 8 year plus or minus old computer can't get online. we use Netscape and for some reason.. one day it just decided to stop working. now it says that it can't detect the modem.. that it is either in use or not installed.

im thinking the modem itself is just fried.. but im not the most adept computer repair guy... so any suggestions before i run out and get a new one (the whole $7 is going to kill the company :-p)

thanks all for your help.

I've never figured out how to be gracefully humble without appearing weak.

Nor have I figured out how to be gracefully passionate without appearing arrogant.

In the end, I always seem to be arrogant and weak instead of humbly passionate.

Re: modem problems

8 year old modem?? Sounds like a surge took that puppy out to me. Playing with IRQ's on those older computers are real !!!!!. And that would be the only other reason it would stop working if another piece of hardware started using the IRQ that the modem was set for.
