Hi Michael,
First, if you are having some connectivity issues, make sure that all
cables
are plugged in properly.
You didn't give a specific problem, so here are some general steps.
There are 2 things you can do here.
1. Go to the Control Panel, and then System, and then move to the
Hardware tab.
Next, tab once, and then spacebar on the Device Manager button and then
tab
once more to focus on the tree-view.
Now, press the letter N, to move to Network Adapters.
Press right arrow to open, and then arrow to the network adapter your
system
is using, and press enter.
Route Jaws to PC, and then press the page up key, and then
start
reading down until you come to the status of the adapter.
If it says that the device is working properly, then proceed to step 2.
If it is not working properly, then return to the PC cursor, and
tab
to the Troubleshoot button,
press spacebar on it, and follow the prompts to troubleshoot the device.
2. If everything above is good, then alt F4 out of
everything.
Next, open the Run Dialogue, and type the following:
cmd
This will open the command prompt.
If you don't know the IP Address of your modem, type the following
in the command prompt, and hit enter:
ipconfig
Now, route Jaws to PC, and press page up and then start reading down until
you find your IP Address
The one you are looking for will be the Default Gateway, which should look
something like this:
192.168.1.1
Once you have located this, write it down for future reference, because
you
cannot copy it into the command prompt.
Next, type the following in the command prompt:
ping
followed by a space, and your address.
It should look something like this:
ping 192.168.1.1
Once you have typed this in, hit enter.
Using the procedure above read the information with the Jaws cursor.
This should show you the amounts of packets sent and received
If everything is working properly,then the 2 numbers should match.
To close the Command Prompt, simply type:
exit
and hit enter.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Hi Michael,
First of all, we need to be clear on what modem we are talking about.
Is it an Ethernet or dial-up modem?
Let us know.
