I want to use an older computer for dial-up internet access.
I put the modem in, but the computer does't find new the hardware. What am I doing wrong?

You probably need to install the driver for the modem that should have come with it on a CD. If it is a new modem, the install should be relatively straight-forward.

Obviously not a Plug N Play modem.
Install it manually. Just launch Add Hardware. Let it scan and then elect to install from a hardware choice - modems and have your driver files ready to install.
Go download the driver for that old modem if you don't have one.

the only accessible reason i see is that the modem grew to improve into into now no longer plugged in properly. Bcoz if u put in the making use of tension from the modem's cd then residing domicile windows could prefer to have detected that as modem's making use of tension besides.

You need to run the installation program for the modem before plugging it in.

You have not installed the device drivers.
