Conexant D850 modem &Intel Pro network connection ?

The Intel Pro/1000 is NOT part of the dial-up modem.  The Pro/1000 is a high speed Ethernet digital connection for connecting to broadband (cable or DSL).  There is an RJ-45 connection on the rear of the PC that you use to connect to the broadband modem (it looks like a modular telephone connector but it is 8 pins instead of 4).

When you use the modem, you connect the analog dial-up telephone line to the Connexant modem and you connect via the modem and telephone line to your ISP.

And after you switch over to broadband, open Device Manager and find the listing for the Conexant modem. On it's properties page, change it from "Use this device" to "disabled". Don't uninstall the modem or it's software, just in case you ever need to use it again. ;)

  Yes thats what Iam talking about the RJ-45 Jack is located on the modem ,I know because I was troubleshooting the modem and one of the steps I took was to remove it and place it in a diffreant PCI slot ! I was able to get the modem working again ,changing the PCI slot was not the fix ,it was actualy some files that must of inadvertantly been deleted or corrupted ,ran the SFC and it worked again ! I will look again at the back of my PC for another RJ-45 to see if there is another one seperate from the modem ?

You're totally confused! ;)

The connector on the PCI modem card is an RJ-11, and is the same as used for a standard (US) telephone. Modems typically have two RJ-11 jacks so a telephone and the PC can share the same phone jack on the wall.

See panel 3 in this diagram for the location of the NETWORK RJ-45 connector. It's in the same row as 2 of your rear USB ports. Compare this with panel 4 at this link, which shows the location of your modem RJ-11 connector.

        Hi Rohe,

             Iam sure you are correct , when I open my tower up or even when its in the spot on my desk that I keep it ,its really hard for me to access ther back of the PC tower ,and with a maze of wires coming off the back its hard to see clearly back there ! I will take a look at the back and lokk in the area of the USB ports to get familar with the RJ-45 jack ! Thanks for the reply and the information as always its greatly appreciated !

        Take Care ,Nick

There you go, get a mirror and look at the back of the tower. :D

      That was funny ,yet you reminded me that I have a small 3"x2" mirror on a antenna type of device for looking for something when you drop it behind somewhere or looking around corners,etc !  It would certainly allow me to see the back of my PC Tower without ripping out half the attached cords etc ! So actually your funny reply was also very helpful ,and I know exactly where I have it ,its in the desk tha holds my old P3 750MHz PC !

                 Thank ,Nick

There's method to my madness!
