Hello,

I have a laptop with a Netgear wireless card installed, I used to live in a house with broadband.

However I moved up inthe world and (down in finances) and bought a flat! But have not yet got broadband installed, so I thought I'd push the boat out and go back to dial-up!!

However my modem (which used to work fine) cant see a dial tone, my phone works fine etc.....

Anyone with any ideas whats going wrong???

Thanks

 
I'm sure you have this sorted by now, but as far as settings go, there are not many you can alter for the 'No Dial Tone' error. In the Properties of the Modem, try to untick 'Wait for Dial Tone before dialling' which will force the dial.

9 times out of ten no dial tone is hardware related. If you line definately has a dial tone, then it is most likely modem drivers, the cable you are using to connect your modem to the phone line is voice only, or quite possibly just the modem itself has packed up.

Hope you have this one solved.
