Hello,

Can anyone advise me on a problem, please? I had to do a Repair
Reinstallation of Windows XP Pro a few days ago, and since then dial-up
networking has been greyed-out on the Connection Wizard, so there's no
possibility at all of making a connection to the internet via my modem. I've
checked and reloaded the modem drivers - all is reported as being well, and
I can dial out on FAX and pcAnywhere, so I know that the modem card itself
is OK - but beyond that, I have idea where to start looking.

Anything you can offer, TIA - and Happy New Year to all.

Regards,

Philip Andrews
