225034 2004-03-25 06:21:00 had an old Lucent Win modem - connected slow at 34 kbs, Win xp professional - so installed new Genius Lucent win modem plug and play, windows picked up drivers, all settings checked, and we have no dial tone!

Checked line, connection plugs, and wall - all ok, and tested line

Also tried new driver off disk that came with modem, thought it might be a driver issue...strange, still no go.

Any help?

225035 2004-03-25 06:27:00 Is there no dial tone (turn on the modem speaker), or is the modem not detecting dial tone (because it is not set for NZ)? Graham L (2)

goto phone&modems in c/panel.
click modems
click properties
click modem tab at the top
make sure that "wait for dial tone is NOT ticked and/or untick it.

If the modems queries OK it'll be your software. Also some modems like to have the drivers loaded first and then the actual h/ware and others not. Try it both ways.

click modems
click properties
advanced.................then type in

into the advanced settings box then hit apply okokok etc........this'll make the modem ignore the 'no dial tone'.....and try to dial even if there IS no dial tone.........luck
