    We need more information. Who is your ISP? Did you check the phone jack? Are you using any software with the modem?

    Does that mean the internet works? What are you using? Dial-up? DSL? Does it give an error message?

    If you can connect to the internet and don't use dial up why would you need to worry about the 56k modem? I am confused....what you're asking and do you have a problem with the modem?

    Plug a phone line into the jack and the other end of the line into the wall, configure a network connection to use the modem (presuming you have access to a dial-up ISP), use the network connection.

    If you're using DSL, you can use the ethernet port for internet. If you're using Dial-up and find that your internal modem doesn't work, you might have a faulty card and may have to contact HP for a replacement. We still don't really get the extent of your problem - you can connect to the internet, but you want to also use your 56k modem? For what?

    If you go into device manager and the modem is shown as working as done from a right-click and selecting Properties (screen print from Vista attached), and if you then go into the update drivers and do that and it still does not work, it would seem that you have a hardware problem.

    It could also be a port conflict, too, and that you cannot use WiFi or LAN at the same time as the MODEM.

    I am thinking that you don't have a dial up service, thus your modem not working.

    I already asked that question.

    And presumably, the modem speaker has been turned on via basic MODEM AT commands to hear the dialing tones....

    So, i need to have an dial up to make the 56k modem to work...? I thought you just can use it for normal internet (always on)

    Yes to the first, No to the second.

    That would be GSM in your part of the world. 56KB modems are for when there are only land phone lines. If you have BT you might be able to use a cell phone as a modem depending upon your carrier's setup.

    You can't use the phone when you're using 56K. So, no if you want to send/receive calls.

    A connection is a connection. The interface is just an interface. Obviously, speed differentials come into play as 56KB is quite a bit slower than common ethernet speeds. So, as long as the connection is kept "open" or active, it is "on". That goes for:
    • WiFi
    • BT
    • LAN
    • 56KB Modem
    • IR
    • ....

    Why would you want to do that in the first place? 56k is abhorrently slow nowadays, and you said your DSL worked anyways. You'd have to pay about $10 a month for dial-up service, which is redundant and outdated by your DSL.
