t-100 wont connect to pc via datacable

Used to have a siemens sl45 used a com port conncetor to upload music to, however i could not get the phone to be recognised via the quicksynch software supplied, thought that the cable was duff.

bought t-100 bit pissed to see a serial conncetor instead of usb but nevermind, installed pclink softwre connceted to com ports, and blow me same problem again the software cannot find the phone on either com port.

have looked in device manager to see if there are any conflicts on the com ports and windows reports no conflicts and the devices are working properly

i am at my wits end can any of you guys help, thanks in advance

For the PC to see the T100 you first need to turn the phone OFF

Connect com cable to com port on PC

Connect other end to T100 (Phone screen will turn white)

Click Connect on the PC link software

thanks for the reply andy, however i know about the white screen and do get it visable, the damn thing just wont recognise the phone, i know its not the cable and windows says the comports are fine and have no conflicts, i dont know what else to do other than buy a new motherboard (which is a bit extreme just for the sakes of a phone!!)- any other ideas would be most appreciated

install the softmodem it configures ur cable....

what is the softmodem, where do i find it and how do i install it, thnaks for the reply

Yeah, where is the softmodem software? It is not on the cd that comes with the T100?


I can't understand why you can't connect?

What OS are you using 95/98/ME/2000/XP ?

If using XP try using Compatibility Mode

What are your comport settings.


Any more info and i'll see if i can help you further




andyw

using xp, all my com port settings check in on the right irqs, been into the bios to check also, i am completely stumped. will check the cd for the 'soft modem' any more ideas would be gratefully appreciated

Are you on MSN? I am on now to talk if you are?




andyw

no msn im afraid, tried compatibilty mode no sucess if windows does not detect a conflict on either com port and they both have the standard comport settings com1 irq 4 03f8-03ff and com 2 irq 3 02f8-02ff why should there be a problem, it works on my parents pc no problem??

Do you have a PS2 mouse or a serial mouse?

Is your modem on com 1,2,3,4 etc


Is your com port 2 disabled in your Bios? If not, try disabling it as it sometimes conflicts with your modem?



andyw

even gsm link recognises com1 and com 2 are there so why wont the phone physically communicate withe the pc via the cable?- remeber i have used the same setup on annother pc with succes, could it be the actual com port conncectors on the motherboard that are knackered- i am running out of solutions here PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a cable modem via network card, will try disabling com 2 in bios see if that works

sorry and a normal ps2 mouse

Have you tried a serial mouse?

What is your Baud rate set at?
