Actually, I just tried to change the settings on my modem, it uses jumpers. The problem is, when I changed it to COM2, no matter what I tried, I could not get it to work in NT. I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. I tried to detect it and NT said that it did not exist, I know

Um, have you set these ipchains rules yourself? Or, is some script setting them for you? Did you know that you have ipchains rules set in the first place? (Stupid question, I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask). You may want to check to make sure your internal IPs do not exists in hosts.deny. Let
