Ok i'm like having phone problems - like the phone is really crackily ands affecting the way to connect to the internet...
It takes like 20 tries to try to get connected becusae it just keeps dialing over and over again w/o going to the next stage ~-~
So it sucks and i mean it keeps disconnecting if your not active w/ the internet...
Its hard to explain ... we don't know whats wrong...
I checked all the phone lines they all work...we unplugged our phones for 15-20 min. and plugged them back in (thats what they suggested to us before to do when the phone was bad)...
DO you know what im saying? Becuase its really annyoing and we don't know what to do...
Thanks
~Jeff~

Re: Comp & Phone Problems
do you hear static on the phone, or interference on the phone when you talk on the phone with someone?
If yes, it sounds like a service call for your phone company to fix your phone line.
If no
Have you updated your modem drivers to the latest versions? What type of modem do you have, what operating system.
On the other note of having others read this (not applicable to you since you are on dialup).
If this is DSL, you should have filters on EVERY other phone/answering machine/fax EXCEPT for the modem (the modem should plug directly into the phone line, everything else should plug into a filter which plugs into the phone line)
