Powered the modem down, rebooted, no network. Added the modem back in, with the modem power on and rebooted, the network was fine.

Using system restore, I went back to the pre-install image before the modem was added, and the network came up without a problem. Since this had worked just hours before I was a bit perplexed (and really bummed). Next time I restarted my machine, I could not connect to my network. After sending the only fax that I need to get out on my Win 7 box, I powered the modem off.

Whenever I needed to send/rcv a fax, I'd fire it up, use it and power it off again. I used the modem infrequently, so most of the time (on my XP machine) this was powered off. I saw the same network connectivity issues, both wired and wireless, with my machine showing the big red X on the Network Connections window after a reboot. I connected the laser printer to the parallel port of the Rosewill card and after a few attempts was able to get the modem working as a fax on the USB-serial cable.Īll my drivers were Win7 compliant and I used the latest releases from the manufacturer. Which led me to purchase a serial to USB adapter. There are, however, issues with the serial ports on this card, so the serial ports are not connected to the PCI card (too long a story to waste your time). 64 bit Win7 drivers were available from the mfgr. Since the motherboard did not have either a parallel or serial ports, I decided to install a Rosewill RC-303 PCI card to attach a legacy laser printer and an external modem. The only problem I ran into (initially) was Win 7 didn't like my Canon Scanner (new scanner arrived today, as yet uninstalled). I finished building my newest PC using an Intel Motherboard (DH67CL) & an I7-2600K.
