Hi; You must go to CONTROL Panel-Add/Remove Program-Add/Remove Windows Componet to set FAX service cheking its box. After you do it, go CONTROL PANEL-Telephone and Modem option setting your loaction. You must add your location with NEW button and select dialing method Tone or Pulse. Remember that DATA/FAX modem must be hooked to the PHONE jack of the line separator for ADSL. Last you must do is Opening FAX console to configure it SENDING and Receivig FAXs.

You CANNOT fax using a DSL modem. You CAN fax using a data/fax modem connected to an analog telephone line. You missed the most important part of Duke's post: >> Remember that DATA/FAX modem must be hooked to the PHONE jack >> of the line separator for ADSL. If you have one and only one telephone line coming into your house, that line carries both DSL signals and telephone signals. Each telephone jack in your house may be used for DSL, telephone, or both, BUT each telephone device in the house MUST have a DSL filter connected between the device and the phone line (your ISP or installer probably gave you DSL filters). [There is always an exception. If you had DSL professionally installed, particularly if you have a home alarm system that calls a central station, the professional installer may have installed a "whole house filter" where the telephone line enters the house. In this case, the installer would have identified certain wall jacks as being for DSL and others as being for telephone. In this scenario, your data/fax modem must be connected to a telephone-designated jack.] If you want to use a single line for both DSL and phone, you need a splitter (or what Duke called a line separator, which sounds like a combination splitter/filter). The connection to your DSL modem goes into one jack of the splitter, and a DSL filter goes in the other jack. The other end of the DSL filter connects to your internal modem.

I am just getting in on this discussion which is largely over my head. I have cable internet, not phone and I have enabled both send and receive on the fas console. I am able to send a fax but there is a recieve error when I try to receive either manually or auto. I am using the same phone line that went into my fax machine and worked. Is it necessary to unplug allother phones on the fax line? I have tried this. Is there any other reason why the fax modem would fail given the above? -- WW "Lem" wrote: > Gunna wrote: > > > > "Duke Williams" wrote: > > > >> Hi; > >> > >> You must go to CONTROL Panel-Add/Remove Program-Add/Remove Windows > >> Componet to set FAX service cheking its box. > >> > >> After you do it, go CONTROL PANEL-Telephone and Modem option setting > >> your loaction.

Hi Duke, thankyou for your assistance so far.I have a splitter with line in one end and adsl modem and local phone the other. I have line from wall socket going to line,telephone going into local phone socket on splitter and adsl connected to adsl modem socket on splitter. What do I need to do to activate built in fax without having to disconnect local phone or adsl connection?

WW- It's a little confusing when you get in the middle of a thread that someone else started. You should really start one of your own. However ... If you had a phone line that was connected to a fax machine, and the fax machine worked, all you need to do is to connect that phone line to the modem in your computer. You don't need to disconnect all other phones on that line. However, if that phone line is used for regular voice calls, you should be aware that if you set the Fax to "automatic answer" it will answer ALL incoming calls -- voice or phone. You may not like this. As to why you get a "receive error," the sad fact is that Windows XP Fax Services is not the most robust application around. It is very fussy about what fax modems it will work with. If your fax modem is "Designed for Windows XP" you have a chance that it will work; if not, the odds are much lower.

Hi Guna, Sounds so far so good, you have set all FAX function of Windows XP. --------------------------------- \| ADSL \| WALL Jack ------- (LINE IN) Splitter (ADSL)----ADSL Modem \| \| in PC \| (PHONE) \| --------------------------------- \| \| Telephone If your setting is like above, you did good job. As your question whether you must unplug your telephonhe when using FAX form your PC is UP TO YOUR DATA/FAX MODEM even you can hook a telephone line divider to PHONE socket of splitter. --------------------------------- \| \| WALL Jack ------- (LINE IN) Splitter (ADSL)----ADSL Modem \| \| in PC \| (PHONE) \| --------------------------------- \| \| line divider \| \| ( filter) (filter) \| \| Phone DATA/FAX modem in PC If your DATA/FAX modem can function through the divider even with telephone connected to the other jack, you may be haapy. If not, you have to insert two noise filters to both FAX and telephone line so that they will not interefere with each other. Noise filter is sometimes called as "line separator" which is another thing from "ADSL splitter". Sorry for my wrong terminology in the first reply.

Then connect a regular telephone cord between the other jack on the modem ("Telco" or the one on the right) to the splitter.

Hi Gunna, Lem have already replied , but here is my idea to >How do I get a line into computer to activate inbuilt Modem??? Sound that you must have NIC, i.e. network interface card in your PC ,hooked to ADSL modem which is the EXTERNAL device placed close to ADSL splitter besides DATA/FAX modem if I am right. And that you must have built in DATA/FAX modem your PC ? As Lem said; >A DSL modem is NOT the same as a data/fax modem (which is what >you may have inside your computer). DATA/FAX modem is NOT the kind of the ADSL modem. What you mentioned as "inbuilt Modem" should be DATA/FAX modem ? Built-in DATA/FAX modem should have LINE IN jack and PHONE jack in the rear of your PC. To connect DATA/FAX modem to telephone line, you need one telephone extension line with one end hooked to LINE IN jack in the rear of PC and the other end to LOCAL PHONE jack of ADSL splitter or line divider to divide the signal of LOCAL PHONE jack in ADSL splitter. So my recommendation will be; --------------------------------- \| (ADSL \| WALL Jack -----(LINE IN) Splitter MODEM)----ADSL Modem \| \| \| \| (LOCAL PHONE) \| \| --------------------------------- \| \| \| \| Network Card line divider in PC \| \| ( filter) (filter) \| \| Phone LINE IN jack of DATA/FAX modem in PC Duke "Gunna" <Gunna DeleteThis @discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:80597D28-8F37-4BFA-86CA-334B0797275A@microsoft.com... > Hi Duke, > > I know i will sound a bit slow but here it is. > I have a line from wall socket going into adsl splitter.(LINE) > I have a line from phone going into splitter(LOCAL PHONE) > I have a line from ADSL Modem going into splitter(ADSL MODEM) > How do I get a line into computer to activate inbuilt Modem??? > > "Duke Williams" wrote: > >> Hi Guna, >> >> Sounds so far so good, you have set all FAX function of Windows XP. >> >> --------------------------------- >> \| ADSL >> \| >> WALL Jack ------- (LINE IN) Splitter (ADSL)----ADSL Modem >> \| >> \| in PC >> \| (PHONE) >> \| >> --------------------------------- >> \| >> \| >> Telephone >> >> If your setting is like above, you did good job. >> >> As your question whether you must unplug your telephonhe when using >> FAX form your PC is UP TO YOUR DATA/FAX MODEM even >> you can hook a telephone line divider to PHONE socket of splitter. >> >> --------------------------------- >> \| >> \| >> WALL Jack ------- (LINE IN) Splitter (ADSL)----ADSL Modem >> \| >> \| in PC >> \| (PHONE) >> \| >> --------------------------------- >> \| >> \| >> line divider >> \| \| >> ( filter) (filter) >> \| \| >> Phone DATA/FAX modem >> in >> PC >> >> If your DATA/FAX modem can function through the divider even with >> telephone connected to the other jack, you may be haapy. >> If not, you have to insert two noise filters to both FAX and telephone >> line >> so that they will not interefere with each other. >> >> Noise filter is sometimes called as "line separator" which is another >> thing >> from "ADSL splitter".

You need to install the fax facility either from the Windows master disk or from the Add/Delete programmes and select add windows extras. You will also need a dial up modem capable of taking faxes. Also I found that if you have Norton Internet Security 2007 installed, then it must be at version 10.2 or higher for the fax to work - there was a conflict between early versions of the Fax facility and Norton. Reply and I'll tell you were to get the Norton update FOC.

I found Duke's response helpful in a different situation. Suddenly, the Fax icon disappeared from Printers and Faxes, and I couldn't fax anything. I looked in the Fax service in the Windows Components Wizard, and its check box was indeed selected. So I cleared it. Then I went back and selected it. My fax service is now back to normal. Thanks.
