They did something with your line pairs during the install. Most likly your home phone line is ran in a so called "home run" fashion and when they were installing they somehow got the pairs being used for phone lines messed up or they actaully disconnected the rest of the run.

You might want to disconnect your dial up settings under network connections under control panel and set your broadband connection as your default.  If all fails .. call your ISP

I had exactly the same problem, call the 1800 number.  It may also be a problem with your modem.

Your modem is working properly if you are hearing a dial tone. You need to consult with your provider on what the proper settings are. If your provider sent you a setup disk use it. It should configure your account info.

Hi there,\n\nIf it is a Dial up modem then:\n\n1. Start > Control Panel > Phone and Modem options > Modem Tab > Properties > Modem Tab again > Select 57600 as Port speed since 115200 gives a pseudo connection speed resulting in slow connections. Click OK and close all the windows. Restart your system.\n\n2. Check with your ISP/Telephone company for any AT Strings required.\n\n3. Remove any Fax / Answering machine from the same line.\n\n4. Avoide to use cable more than 2-3mts long.\n\n\nHope this helps...\n\nArash Shirali...

nopes.. DSL box /modem use the phone line as input, but do totally different things..hence you cannot use them in each others place

then get a DSL modem. The DSL modem connects also to the phone outlet but doesn't keep the phone line busy.

Contact your service provider. I recently had a similar problem with my DSL and found out my phone line had issues. Since that was fixed, it's been very smooth.

If you mean on regular POTS (plain old telephone system), you must have a V.92 modem, AND using an ISP that supports V.92 interrupt, AND have call waiting. As for HOW you answer, that would depend on the modem.

Try switching the power of from your modem and leave for 5 Min's, then switch back on and leave for another 5 Min's.\nThat may work.\nHope that helps Good Luck.

Ok, the guy before might have already answered here, but I will take it a tad father, incase you are missing the last step; most home installs give you that equipment and instructions.  Call your provider if they didn't.  Now, coming out of your wall socket, you should have 2 phone cords, one going to your phone and one dsl modem, you need to get a regular two way splitter for a phone and then the cord out of the phone and attach the splitter there.  You need 2 new cords now too, plug both into the new splitter of course and then one back into your phone and one into your computer.  You should then be able to run the Windows fax wizard to set it up.  This will not allow you to talk on the phone and fax at the same time, but you can send/receive faxes or talk on the phone with this set up and of course still be using the DSL.\n\nP.S. they guy before me is now two guys before me lol

You cant do much about since the problem must be in your line. Contact your DSL support helpline so that they can pinpoint your problem whether its at your end on theirs.They will give to the exact solution.

For starters, make sure you're plugging your cable from your wall to the correct jack in your modem.  One usually has a phone icon - don't use that one for the wall connection.  Use that for an actual phone.\n\nIf your hear a dial tone from your speakers when you try to fax someone, then that's a good thing - your fax is trying to start up and dial.  If you don't hear a dial tone, again check your plugs.  It may even help to check the wall outlet as well, since that may be part of the problem.\n\nAs for dialing, you can usually go either way with dashes or no dashes.  Just be sure to use area codes where necessary.\n\nNow be warned - sometimes sending a fax over a cable modem won't work out.  I've had that told to me once, and it turned out that it did work in my case.  But then recently, I tried to fax and they didn't go through all the way.  I had to do some fancy trickery to get things right again, but it worked out in the end.\n\nBTW, the link below is from Microsoft's website.  It may help with some minor usage and troubleshooting.

Some problems: There is a bad phone line, there is a bad modem/driver, the phone line is in use, there is disturbance on the phoneline.

Could be a temporary outage in your area.  If it persists you can call in and report it.
