Can someone help? Friday we had a transformer go in our area and we lost power. I was on the NET at the time and when power and phones were restored I can not get a dial tone on my modem. I have tried everything and some and still no luck. Has anyone had this problem? Everything other then the no dial tone is fine. Help me, PLEASE.Personally, I think that you need to use a cell phone or something, and call your phone provider for help, but only if this is an advanced issue... What happens if you try to use your computer to dial out? Do you get an error, or a busy signal, etc.?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Actually I've sponken to Verizon (my provider) they feel the issue is terminal as well as AOL and Gateway (which they were no help at all, my warrenty expired) I was told to reload my drivers and it should be ok but no luck. I do not get a dial tone when I try to CONNECT I can hear it dialing and that's all, I get an error stating no ANSWER or the other....Kinda looks like my modem is fried huh?That is a possibility... You said that your house phones were out too, right?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Friend, first of all make sure that your phone line is working properly. Sceondly, make sure that all connections are tight specially if you have extension and also phone connected to your modem is properly connected. If every thing is fine and your modem still causing problem of "no dial tone", then I think, I am sory to say that you must arrange new modem. Before buying new one check your modem on some other PC and try to change your modem slot on your motherboard.
Take care of you and others and be happy.
Bye...
DrWahabHi two things you can do 1. REINSTALL the modem,2.if that dose not work then replace the modem but it sounds like you modem has shorted out. The cost to replace is not much at all here in Australia I can BUY a modem for $20.00 Quote
