ADSL modem problem

(1/4) > >>

Simon:
OK, as some of you may know, I have an ADSL modem, with my Pipex ADSL Broadband 512Kbps super highway ISP.   ;D

Now, if I have to reboot my PC for any reason, the modem refuses to initialise / synchronise, whatever you want to call it, following boot up.  All I get is the green flashing light.  I then have to shut down my machine, which then hangs on the 'Windows is shutting down' screen, and I eventually have to manually power off.  Grrr.  The modem always fires up OK from a 'cold start'.

As there seems to be no software options to do so, is there any other way that anyone knows of to reset / reinitialise a modem?  I even tried pulling the USB out, but that didn't do anything either.

Any ideas gratefully received, except shouts of abuse from 56K'ers   :)  ;D

TR:
Simon what OS are you running.

Simon:
XP


Edit: Shortest post so far?? ;D

TR:
Well. if it was 98, there is a bug in that OS where the pc hangs on shutting down.
XP is above me  8)

Corky:
after you restart, do pull the power cable out and then put it back in?
