This article was previously published under Q315852 SYMPTOMS After you make a dial-up connection to your Internet
service provider (ISP), the connection status for the connection may appear as
"Connected" for some time after the ISP disconnects the session or you
disconnect the phone line from the modem. CAUSE This problem is specific to the modem driver. If you
disconnect the phone line from an external modem, Netconfig immediately updates
the status to "Disconnected." If you disconnect the phone line from an internal
modem, Netconfig may take from 20 to 30 seconds to change the status to
"Disconnected." For some modems, however, Netconfig takes from 1 to 2 minutes
to update the connection status. It appears as if the modem driver does not
inform Netconfig of the status change.
The ESS ES56V-PI internal
data fax modem takes 2 minutes to inform Netconfig that it has been
disconnected.
