Make sure that the modem cable is plugged into the modem jack and not the
Ethernet network jack. See

to make sure that the connections

have been made correctly.

Make sure that your computer is connected to the telephone line and the telephone
line has a dial tone.

Make sure that the modem cable is less than 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.

Remove any line splitters or surge protectors from your telephone line, then check
for a dial tone by plugging a working telephone into the telephone wall jack.

If you have additional telephone services such as call waiting, call messaging, or
voice mail, make sure that all messages are cleared and call waiting is disabled

to temporarily disable the service. Also make sure that the modem dialing
properties are set correctly.
