hi, I used to have one of these modems and this is the way I got it to work under win2k. I assume that you've d/loaded or have got the correct win2k driver for that modem from Diamond's website? If so you should see under unknown devices in device manger a pci communication device with a exclamation through it. Right click it, goto to properties then driver and then click on update driver. Choose next, then select 'display a list of driver...', click on 'have disc' and point it to where the driver is located. Choose the 2850 driver and install it. Should be ok now....

Hmm...I did just what you've explained, except I begun from control panel/modems/add modem or something like that. Does it really matter which way you start with? I went back to WinME now and don't want to reinstall W2k again unless I'm positive it works.
 
Thanks

Ok, installed W2k again, and did what you said Chris. Now it's working fine. Thanks, man!

Hi, well you seemed to miss what I was saying, go through the device manager NOT through add new modem. In device manager you should see a PCI communication device listed, upgrade the driver through it's properties.....

Ok, sorry missed the last part of your post for some reason. Glad to be of some help....
