Information
When you try to establish a Dial-Up Networking connection, you may receive the following error message:

Error 633: The modem is not installed or configured for Dial-Up Networking. To check your modem configuration, double click the Modems icon in Control Panel.

This issue can occur if the Telephon.ini file is missing or damaged.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.

2. In the Named box, type "telephon.ini" (without quotation marks), and then click Find Now.

3. If you do not find the Telephon.ini file, skip to step 4. If you do find the Telephon.ini file, right-click it, click Rename, type "telephon.old" (without quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

4. Quit the Find tool, click Start, click Run, type "tapiini.exe" (without quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

5. Restart your computer.


If the TELEPHON.INI file in the Windows folder is missing or is damaged, you can create a new one by running the file TAPIINI.EXE. TAPIINI.EXE is located in the Windows\System folder. Before you run TAPIINI.EXE, rename the TELEPHON.INI file, if it exists.

The TELEPHON.INI file stores the settings for all TAPI-enabled applications, such as Fax and Dial-Up Networking.
