Modem shuts down dial tone automatically within seconds

[rsmith4000]

I recently reinstalled the memory chips to my nieces pc with has Window
Home XP as the operating system. She had taken a year ago to he
boyfriends and they ran a network together while browsing th
internet.

The operating system came up fine but I have been unable to get the
US Robotics Modem to work even though Windows says it is working fine.

When I hook the phone line through the modem I can hear a dial ton
for
10 or 20 seconds and then the line comes open with a disconnect o
beeping
(phone off line signal).

I am unable to set up a manual dial up connection though the wizard a
it
keeps asking for a broadband setup.

Is it possible there is a network card installed that has
configuration setting
that is confilicting with the old dial up modem ?. This modem work
fine in another older machine I have with windows 98 on it.....

Does windows xp automatically dial up the modem after boot up trying t
find
the provider. I need to reinstall the provider software (Earthlink
but continue to get the message (unknown dialing error)....etc.....

Are you saying that the modem never tries to dial? If so you have to
look for the option "Wait for dial tone" and uncheck it, i dont
remerb exacly where it is, but i belive thats what you are looking
for.
