Your modem does not dial out
Make sure that your modem responds normally. If you can communicate
with the modem using a keyboard, check whether or not the modem is
properly connected to the phone line.
Your modem does not connect after it has dialed a phone number
This problem may have several causes. One possibility is that your Internet
Service Provider is too busy; please wait a few moments and redial. Other
possibilities are that the phone line is too noisy or the telephone cord is
faulty. Test for noise by connecting a regular phone to the line.
You cannot transmit after you have connected to the Internet
Check the service parameters and TCP/IP protocol parametersspecified
by your Internet Service Provider. Use the same parameters to configure
your modem connection.
The modem disconnects due to transmission errors
A failure in modem communication is usually characterized by
unacceptablyhigh error rates. Thismay be caused by the telephone line. If
the error rategets too high,themodemdisconnects andyou need toredial
and set up the connection again.

You receive the error message: “No Carrier Detected”
Using a regular phone, check that the phone line is active (you have dial
tone) then reconnect the modem to the wall jack.
Check the Dialing Options. By default the modem is set to dial 9 for an
outside line. If you don’t dial 9 to make a voice call, click Start, then point to
Programs, point to Dialing Options, and select Dialing Patterns. In each box,
remove the 9.
