| 127599 | 2003-03-12 20:29:00 | A quick question, I am finding that when we start the PC and go to log on to the internet, it pops up a error message with "no dial tone" and I check the plugs etc and everything is usually okay. I then reboot and try again and it usually works. The only thing is, I usually have to do this every single time and sometimes twice. Can one think of any reason why its not connecting the first time? Running winxp pro with sp1 and using a generic winmodem. |

| 127601 | 2003-03-13 02:45:00 | Another option: Right click your ISP icon and select general>configure. If there is a tick in the wait for dial tone box, try removing it. If it doen't help though, put it back before doing anything else. For all that, up-to-date drivers are a priority as Jim has suggested. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
