    :rolleyes: I'M CLUELESS HELP
    I HAVE A NEW VONAGE PHONE LINE
    I HAVE COMCAST HIGHSPEED CABLE
    NOW I HAVE A NETWORK SYSTEM I'M NOT SURE HOW TO NAVIGATE

    PROBLEM: I HAD TO REPLACE MY INTERNAL MODEM WITH A EITHERNET CARD TO CONNECT MY ROUTER MY MODEM SHOWS UP IN THE NETWORK LISTING BUT I CANNOT GET MY FAX PROGRAM TO RECOGNIZE THE EXTERNAL MODEM A MOTOROLA SURFBOARD SB4200 MY MODEM IS OPERATING FINE THE ROUTER IS OPERATING FINE . QUESTION HOW TO MAKE SYSTEM SHOW MODEM?
    COULD IT BE THE ROUTERS FIREWALL BLOCKING RECOGNITION ?
    OR SHOULD I DELETE MODEM AND REINSTALL FOR RECOGNITION IN PROGRAMS FILE?

    Sadly Leo, you will still need a good old Analogue Data/Fax/Voice PCI v90 56K modem to be install to send faxes via your fax program as broadband connections or modems dont support fax.

    or alternatives to re-installing the analogue fax modem and online services such as http://www.myfax.com/ or http://www.efax.com/efax/twa/homeRedirect
