Guest sweety chops Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi I have just installed Mandrake 10 on a Packard Bell Easy Note DC laptop. The problem is identifying the modem to work. I think it sees a Lucent modem but I cant test the modem I have entered the ISP settings etc but it fails to connect I'm not sure if its the driver or settings, please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 please go into Mandrake Control Center, under hardware, and check the hardware list for your modem. it should tell you the model of it, please let us know what you find. you will must likely need a driver which is not included.

Znora Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 It is a well known fact that getting modems working can be real hard, and I would rather promise you that it is not going to work than the opposite. But still there are somting you should do: 1. check out Pckard Bells homepage. 2. check out http://linmodems.org/. I actually got that recomended in the mdk 10 install for my card. 3. So you should now have read his page, and maybe you have got and idea of what kind om modem you have. If not you should check out this modemdatabase. There you need the chipset or manifactur of your modem. It would probebly lead you in the right direction. 4. If anything goes wrong : google it! Anyway: come back and tell us how it goes.
