633 error code

Question

when at my moms house i connect to the internet via dial-up when i try to connect i get the error message 633 port is use by other device or programs, but i dont have any other devices plugged in at the time. However, i do have a ipaq 1945 pocket pc which i connect to my laptop when im at work because we have a T1 line and i use it to browse the network as well as the internet. While doing some research on the error on the internet i read some articles stating that one of the pda driver might be conflicting with with the port where my modem is connected but i dont understand. do you have any suggestions, or solutions.

You could disable the PDA driver when not using the connection.  Sounds like it is capturing the interrupt shared with the modem and not allowing the modem to use it.  Poorly written driver. Message Edited by johnallg on 12-30-2003 04:43 PM
