Hi Jacob, I'm having the same problem on my Ericsson T39m. Was wondering how did you fix the Error 80000018 from lineGetID problem. | |||

Hi Andy, The lineGetID errors usually are quite generic, I get this 80000018 error on my PC if either the modem is not attached to the cable, or if another application has the COM port open (only one application can have a COM port active at a time). I'd suggest going into the Phone and Modem options dialog in the Windows Control Panel, go into the Modems area, select the modem, and select Properties. Then go into the Diagnostics area, and "Query Modem". I suspect that dialog would also have a problem accessing the modem, but it may give a more detailed error message. I would suspect another application has the modem open (some modems ship with extra software for interfacing with the modem, and that could be in the way), or that the modem driver is associated with the wrong port, or there is a cable problem. You could also try configuring NowSMS to connect to the COM port directly ... and see if that works. If that works, but the modem driver connection does not, then it suggests a modem driver configuration problem (instead of another application having the port open). -bn | |||

Hi Bryce, Thanks for the prompt reply. I guess there's something wrong with my data cable because the connection between the nowsms application and the ericsson t39m seems to be working fine via the infared port. Thanks anyway. | |||
