Windows Forum / Windows XP / Printing and Faxing / January 2006Sending & receiving Faxes.
Can anyone tell me please if it is possible to have wireless internet connection & modem for faxes in to the same phone line?? My wi-fi box is plugged in to the main phone socket in the wall with a DSL filter, the phone line in the office where the computer is is plugged in to the phone socket in the wall with another filter. I bought an RJ11 cable to plug in from the computer modem to the filter in the phone socket on the wall, I have configured the fax programme, but when I plug in the cable from modem to phone wall socket I lose the ADSL connection & it shows as fax being sent or received but it isn't. I have an Epson CX5200 all in one printer. The modem came with my computer & is a V92 Data/Fax modem. When I unplug the modem to phone-line cable I get the ADSL connection back. Thanks in anticipation. Heatherb.  SignatureHeatherb Heather Your DSL modem should NOT be connected via a filter.. the filters are for use with ALL other appliances.. this includes V92 analogue modems.. connect the analogue modem into the phone outlet with a filter in between..

Thank you Mike, but I have connected the analogue modem to phone socket with a filter inbetween, I have managed to send a fax, but it does not recognise an incoming fax, although the modem rings. DSL modem is connected to the main phone socket through what I think is a filter, small box lead from wi-fi box plugs in to it & that then plugs in to phone socket, but its how the instructions told me to do it, I'm in France so it's a French phone socket. It seems that when I plug in the analogue modem it takes over from the DSL & I lose DSL connection.

When I moved from the UK to Spain, I had problems with the telephone connections because Spanish telephones, while they use the same RJ11 plugs, are wired differently to the UK.. I messed with the cables because I was too cheap to go buy a modem that would connect properly through a Spanish cable.. If your DSL and analogue modem are running from the same jack through a '2 into 1' adapter, ensure that the '2 into 1' is plugged directly into the wall socket, and the DSL line is plugged into one side of the adapter directly.. the other socket should have a filter in it, and the analogue modem connected to the filter..

Modem/wi-fi box & both telephones are french so should not be a problem, but yes French phone points are different to UK ones. The DSL modem is plugged in to one phone socket along with a telephone the analogue modem is plugged in to another phone socket via a filter in a different room where the computer is with another telephone, but both on the same phone number.

This was the case in Germany, I don't know about France. There were some other oddities in Germany-- for instance an american standard 300bd modem would work from a residential line, but a German standard one would not, unless you paid extra. > Mike. > Modem/wi-fi box & both telephones are french so should not be a [quoted text clipped - 83 lines] > > -- > > Heatherb I really don't know what else to try, think I give up & will resig myself to the fact that I will only connect the analogue modem if need to use the fax, maybe in France you just can't use DSL & analogu on the same phone line!!!
