"ADSL Modem"

Is the 'Internal ADSL PCI Modem' (GG9853) a standerd modem which will work with most ADSL providers???

I'm intending to sign up with Pipex, but as the one being sold by SR is cheaper, I want to check it's compatible.

Thanks for any info guys.

ok I have had a look and I have found this site
http://cexx.org/rpc.htm

Have a read but it seems to be saying that if you upgrade your winsock
(availible at the Mico$oft site) it should work

As you deleted it I would d/l the new winsock and then reinstall the drivers and see how you get on.

Also try this link

Hope that helps

Hi chris
I have ordered now and I should be getting adsl in a week I ordered on the 3rd. I have to say I am not sure what the solution is to your problem prehaps format and install 2000 or XP. They will be more likey to understand the drivers better as they are based on NT technology. Also you could try looking for updated drivers as prehaps the ones you installed were beta ones. I have heard quite a lot about people having problems installing internal ADSL modems on varius forums so I ordered the external USB one even though the internal one will be slightly faster when you get it working.

I will have a look on the net and if I find anything I will give it to you tomorrow.

The modem and software I got crashed and mucked up my computer badly. I can't acess the net anymore as whenever I open IE or Outlook, it just crashes.

Don't suppose anyone knows what an 'RPCSS' file does and why it won't run anymore??

As soon as I installed the modem and Software, I couldn't get into Windows, and was told that 'RPCSS' performed an illigal operation and shut down. Then windows just wouldn't load.

I went in safe mode and deleted the 'RPCSS' file and loaded up the machine, windows opened fine. But now if I try and open IE, Explorer Crashes, if I open Outlook or MSN it opes ok, .... I can connect to the net goint to the Dial-Up folder in My computer and using that one, but when I either try and log into MSN, it won't let me and if I try and Send/Check E-mail it crashes.

I really need the net now for my coursework, I've lost 4 days and need catching up.

Seems like I need an 'RPCSS' file, so can anyone tell me where to download one (I'm on my grandads machine now) or how to get it from the Windows CD. Guess the modem software buggered about with it and now I'm riping my hair out.


Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Just got the modem, with a littlw while box with a 'line', 'modem' and 'phone' sockets ... is this a micro-fillter??

I was under the impression that one wasn't packaged with the modem so splashed out an extra £10 for one from pipex ... so I wanna check if you think I could cancel that as I've got one??

Cheers
