My father (long distance call) called to tell me he can not retrieve\send
e-mail. It's his primary use of a computer.
The symptoms that he describes indicate that he is not connected to his ISP
dial up account.
However he says the little modem lights in the system tray are there and
indicate he is connected at a certain speed.
He has only one phone line for voice and internet. He said that even though
the lights indicate he is connected he can receive and make phone calls.
This should not be the case.
I don't know what has changed on his system as I live several hundred mails
away and am trying to either convince him to move closer or trouble shoot
his on the phone.
He is running XP home with only SP1 installed.
Any ideas?
