Possible solution:
You may have a bad phone cord connection to your modem, or your
phone cord may be plugged into the wrong jack. The phone cord should
be plugged into the jack labelled on the modem and into the wall
phone jack. Use the phone cord included in your modem's box if
possible.
Possible solution:
You may have devices between the modem and the phone jack. There
should be no line splitters, fax machines, or other devices between the
modem and the wall jack.
Office Users Possible solution:
You may have plugged your modem's phone cord into a digital line,
which can damage your modem. Contact your phone system
administrator if you are unsure whether or not your phone line is digital.
If your phone system requires dialing “9” to access an outside line, be
sure to add “9” before the number you are dialing.
