Dell Dimension 2400 built-in modem starts dialing the ISP but then a time out message is received. The other computer is able to dial out with out a problem. There is no error messages just the time out and i'm not really sure what it could be.

Thanks
 
Run a hyperterminal test, but dial these 2 numbers.

1-888-296-3892
1-800-543-3279

Connect to each number a few times, and post back the results. Very important you do both.

Both lines are 10 cent a minute at&t lines, so don't leave it connected too long.

Stop at step 10 in these instructions.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
