COM Port gone missing!
I'm having trouble (re-)establishing* an Internet connection on my new Dell Dimension 3100. Troubleshooting indicates the modem is working, but suggests the COM Port maybe disabled and tells me to go to the Device Manager, 'Ports (COM & LPT)', and click the relevant one (COM 3 apparently) to enable it.
BUT the Device Manager doesn't have Ports listed.
On another check, I got: AT#CLS = COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
I did manage to find a list of ports, so they are there, somewhere.
I have not tried connecting a printer yet, otherwise the machine is singing and dancing nicely.
Any suggestions?
[*I tried Ticali (on machine when it arrived) and then (re-establishing via CD) BTinternet, both dial-up, same problem both times.]
Thanks
