Very unreliable

Post by jrmckins »

I'm running XP Pro SP2 and my MJ is very unreliable. I've had it about 5 days and I REALLY want it to work but right now I have to unplug/replug it into my system almost every time I want to use it. If I don't I either have HORRIBLE call quality or no dial tone at all. When it works, it works great (except for no caller ID and having to dial the area code for every call I make but I'll worry about those later). Any ideas?

I just got a powered USB hub. Let's see if that helps...

are you using theusb ex cord that came with mj ? I had np at all then I decided to go mj right into the usb and had those same issues, hooked the cord back up and all been fine since.

that makes no sense but I'll try anything at this point!
