if your ISP says it is you that is having the problem, you need to locate and try a phone number with a modem testing system on it. the Zoom modem people may have such a number for you. you ought to install SP5 for Windows 2000 anyway. it may make a difference. IE 6 should not make any difference, but you have to update it to the latest level anyway since IE has many, many security holes.

Hi-
For some reason, when I try to connect to the internet I get a "You were disconnected by the remote computer" error or something along those lines.I am running Windows 2000 Pro with SP4. I tried just about everything, includind reinstalling the modem, and contacting my ISP customer support. They did some diagnostics and told me it was my computer that was having problems. The weird thing is, when I connect the modem to my other computer running WinXP SP1, to the same line, it connects just fine. I recently reinstalled Internet Explorer 6 and I don't know if that might be the problem. My modem is a Zoom Model 3049L External with the RS-232 serial connection, witht he most recent drivers from the zoom website. Any advice on what I could try, or what might have gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. thanks
