Hi, I am using Windows XP SP2 on an IBM laptop. I was able to use Rconnect for about 3-4 months using USB data cable without any problem. But suddenly it started giving port in use ( Error 0633 ) and stopped connecting. I had done all sorts of disconnecting and restarting but with no effect. I had uninstalled Rconnect and have also removed all other modems. Now it is not even allowing me to install Rconnect. On plugging in the USB cable it says “ USB device not recognized”. When I go on to install Rconnect it does not provide me with any port ( in the drop down menu ) so that I could configure the modem on that port. Another interesting thing is that when I look at the logical com ports from the device manager, it shows that about 8 ( COM1, COM2, etc ) logical ports are in use. How do I initialize the ports so that they are no longer in use. Earlier my Roconnect used to be configured on logical port COM7. But this also seems to be in use. I do not have any Desktop sync etc running ( Is there a way to check ??). Please advise if anyone knows a solution. Thanks, Harsha.

I have actually tried on a different laptop which runs on Windows 2000 and using a serial port that is inbuilt on the laptop. It works fine with the phone. I am getting a feeling that it could be due to the connection to the phone via two cables, i.e. from USB to COM port convertor cable which provides a COM4 and then to the phone using that COM port through a serial cable. Any further ideas ?? Is it worth trying a previuos version of RConnect ??

I am trying to connect to internet from my laptop using Rconnect but it comes up with the message " PPP not responding ( error code : 721 )" or "remote computer not responding". I have Windows XP and have connected to the phone using my USB port through a R232 USB to serial port convertor. The phone is able to detect the call to the number #777 but after waiting for about 30 seconds attempting to connect it comes up with such an error. It seems that something is happening when the response is sent back. Could anyone help me out on this ? Thanks, Harsha.
