Cable to Dial Up

reeo · Post by **reeo** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 6:03 pm

Currently I'm on cox cable. I have tweaked my settings and it works pretty good. I intend to move in the near future but I might have to settle for dial up.

Do I need to delete cable nut? I'm uncertain what I really need to do.

thanks, reeo

Eh? I asked a real question. Do I need to delete all cablenut settings on dial up? In other words go back to std Win XP settings?

thanks, reeo

If you read that link you will see the settings to use in Cablenut for your dialup connection should you have to get one.

One more question because it looks like I'll be going to dial up.

Here is the text on part of the conversion.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl (if PriorityControl is not there, make the value) - on the right hand side right click and select new DWORD value, name it IrqXPriority (X = Irq assigned to your modem), then right click it and select modify and give it a decimal value of 1.

I have the key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl.

Does that mean there is no change needed here? It's a little confusing to me.

that means you have goto device manager and locate your modem's irq and add that in

IrqXPriority (X = Irq assigned to your modem),

Ok to be clear I would add, (Irq23Priority) to the right side, Yes? That is my IRQ #

The statement above says, (if PriorityControl is not there, make the value) --------

I have Priority control on the main key, this is what's confusing. Do I add another priority control on the right side? If so will you type out what should be added to the right side?

Hexidecidecimals, D words and that stuff are real confusing to me. No one ever explained them so I don't know. A link with a simpleexplanation would be good. It may not be needed here, just a comment.

Thanks,

reeo

you navagate to that key on the left then click edit new dword value and click edit then new dword value you would see it on the right then click it once so you change the name and rename it to this rqXPriority then double click it and it would a gray box would pop up asking deciamal or hex you want decimal then enter 1 for the vaule.
