I have a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO external modem on COM1, had been working for years but lately under windows xp won't connect, on attempt of dialing it lights up terminal ready and power but doesn't go further, returns port blocked or similar (no other programs - that i know of - are accessing). The strange thing is under linux, it works! spyware, virus? if just reinstalled windows...

Do you have the modem powered on when you boot up XP?
XP requires external modem to be on/ready when booting for hardware to be recognized properly.

If you do have it on & still doesn't work, try removing modem & re-installing with ControlPanel/System/Hardware/Device Mgr
