Guest GaryM Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I can go through the process of creating a new dial-up connection, and then clicking on the "Dial" button. The result is the message "Opening Port" which is quickly replaced with "Dialing nnnn". However it hangs there. I can use Hyperterminal to send the ATDTnnnn command to the modem and that dials and connects. This is a friends machine, and I don't know what he may have messed up trying to fix this. Can anyone help? Gary Minor

Guest GaryM Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Re: Dial-up fails to dial "Newbie Coder", a great big thanks for helping. Hangs means that the when the dialog box displays "Dialing nnnn" it just stays in that state, that is, nothing more happens. I can cancel without a problem. The machine itself does not hang up. Sometimes, if I leave it long enough, I get an error code but not aways the same. This machine is at a friends in Atlanta GA. The friend is very much a newbie. I was trying to help while I was there on a visit, but now I am back in Raleigh, NC. I don't know about the com port. However, when I use Hyperterminal and the ATDTnnn command to dial, there is the dialing noise and the connecting noise, and a request for user ID and password. This would suggest that the modem and phone lines are working. I would assume that the com port is the same in both cases. When I use the dial-up connection (not Hyperterminal) there is no dialing noise. When I started this problem, there was no noise at all. Later I was getting a dial tone but no dialing noise. I'm not sure what changed. Normally, I would suspect the modem driver, but I have tried an external USB modem with the same results. You would think that since this problem is easy to reproduce and fails every time that it would be easy to solve. However, it has me stumped. Your help is appreciated.

Guest Bob I Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Re: Dial-up fails to dial perhaps uncheck "Wait for Dialtone"?
