I used to have the same problem...frequently. It seems that lightening was= coming through on my phone line and roaching my modems. In almost all= cases, the modem would dial out the first time after boot, but wouldn't go= off hook after I was done. Sometimes it would just lose it altogether and= leave me with no dial tone anywhere. I had to start unplugging the phone= line any time i was away or before a storm. A bad phone...or= modem...won't let you get a dial tone until you unplug the offending= device. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 8/21/2002 at 11:01 AM loneranger wrote: >Geez i don't know who got the first email i wrote..ummm..different addy >than >this..oh well..my daughter is having trouble getting on internet..when she >tries she gets error..680..she has done everything they have told her to >do..but she finds when she unplugs phone from computer it works but when >she >plugs it in to computer it has no dail tone..she is stumped..hope someone >can help her..thanks..Donna > >To unsub or change your email settings: >//www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk > >To access our Archives: >http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ >//www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
