Re: Cannot receive incoming faxes on Win2003 SBS Premium Edition

do you hear the modem trying to pick up when a fax comes in??
Did you go through the Fax Server wizard after installing it?

Hey,

I'm an IT-Administrator for a small company, an external company which is a
Microsoft Gold Certified partner sold me a Trust fax modem for to use with my
Windows 2003 Server SBS Premium server. I installed it but couldn't get it to
work. I questioned the company, and asked them why it was not on the HCL for
my server. Their only reply was an order confirmation a week or so later for
a new USRobotics PCI internal fax modem, which is on the HCL list.

Installation and configuration of the modem was a snap with the Server
Managament included in SBS, and I could send faxes straightaway both from the
server and from all clients via a shared fax printer.

My problem is that I still have not received a single fax. I have tried
searching the web for days, read newsgroups. The only solution available is
the Microsoft KB article stating to increase the number of rings before the
fax answers. That didn't help and neither has the hours and hours I have
spent configuring and testing everything I've come across.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
My modem is a U.S. Robotics V.92 PCI Modem Model: 5671 (USR805671)


Thanks in advance,
Murple
