I have installed a secondary dial up connection on my laptop which already
has a cable (set top box) connection for when I'm home . Kept getting "no
dial tone present",
so cleared the box in modem properties that says "wait for dial tone". Now I
get unable to connect to remote computer. Have run "query modem" in modem
diagnostics.Able to communicate with modem O.K. Have set dial up connection
to default connection.Still can't connect.Any ideas? Am running Windows XP
Home Edition. Also I have a home network set up
