■ If you have the call waiting feature on your telephone line, make sure that
it is disabled.
■ Make sure that you are not using a digital, rollover, or PBX line. These lines
do not work with your modem.
■ Make sure that your account with your Internet service provider (ISP) is
set up correctly. Contact your ISP technical support for help.
■ Make sure that you do not have a problem with your modem. For more
information, see “Modem” on page 250.
You see an “Unable to locate host” message and are unable to browse
the Internet
This problem can occur when you have typed a URL (Web address) incorrectly,
you have lost your Internet connection, or your ISP is having technical
difficulties.
Double-check the URL or try a different URL. If the error message still appears,
disconnect from the ISP connection and close your browser, then reconnect
and open the browser. If you still get the error, your ISP may be having technical
difficulties.
Connecting to a Web site takes too long
Many factors can affect Internet performance:
■ The condition of the telephone lines in your residence or at your local
telephone service
■ The condition of the Internet computers to which you connect and
the number of users accessing those computers
■ The complexity of graphics and multimedia on Web pages
■ Having multiple Web browsers open, performing multiple downloads, and
having multiple programs open on your tablet PC
