| 143117 | 2003-05-11 05:45:00 | I have Windows Home XP and have been having some problems when I try to connect to the internet it often says there is no dial tone. Then other times after being on the internet, when I have disconnected, my phone is dead. I had Telecom check the phone line and that was ok. I then checked my phone and modem options from the control panel and the dialing rules say 'New Location Area Code 0' Is that ok? I noticed someone else's computer in the same city has a Area Code of 09. Not sure what this even means but can anyone make any sense of this and explain this to me?? |

Go to Network Connection in Control Panel and right click the ISP icon and select Properties Make sure the phone number is all in the phhone number box and use Dialing rules is not ticked |

| 143119 | 2003-05-11 12:58:00 | 0 is the national code, 9 is the area code for auckland, 00 is international and 64 is our country code. These are dialing rules for when using your phone or phone devices. Not particularly important but make sure your dialup network doesn't use dialing rules. Check Modem settings in Control Panel, make sure the country selected is NZ. |

| 143121 | 2003-05-12 09:03:00 | Call waiting does not need to be disabled to dialin and connect. The only affect leaving call waiting enabled has is that your modem might disconnect if someone calls your number while connected to the internet as it will allow the caller to get a ringing tone compared with an engaged tone if call waiting is disabled. |

| 143122 | 2003-05-12 10:00:00 | If you have Call Waiting and the telecom messenger service the modem will not get the dial tone if there is a message and will get bumped off if someone dials in. The other thing is they don't get a ring tone but a beep advising of another call. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 143123 | 2003-05-12 11:14:00 | Call Waiting and Call Minder are two different things. Because you have call Waiting does not mean you also have Call Minder I responded to your comments which referred to Call Waiting which had no mention about Call Minder. I agree about your comments about Call Minder though, it may or may not cause a no dialtone error depending on the modem type. The person calling a number which is connected to the internet gets a ringing tone and this may or may not disconnect the modem again the result varies with different modems. |
