I just went through a couple of hours of pure hell... I installed a new mouse and a new modem on my machine: i connected the mouse to COM1 and the modem to COM2. When i restarted Win'95, everything seemed to work: The modem was recognized properly, tested and all. Then i create my internet connection, but it refuses to connect with the modem, complaining that the modem is not properly atached. I re-booted, tested the modem again with the diagnostic tab in the hardware seting, and everything checked out alright... Out of frustration, i took a desperate and stupid decision to switch the mouse and modem so that the modem would be on COM1 and the mouse, on COM2.... IT WORKED !!!! I have no idea why it worked that way, and not the other, and i would love it if someone could enligthen me. Thanks, Laurent.
