FWIW: That refers to a network not a dial up. So the 1st question for a correct
answer is, are you on dial up or a network ?

Dial up cure = Start->right click 'my computer'->Hardware tab->device
manager->network adapters.

Look down and see if anything is red x'ed out.
in my case it's a 3com gigabit driver.

then start->control panel->network connections->
Using my 3com gigabit thing above as an example, the driver has installed
itself for future use also here. But it also needs to be disabled here.
under LAN or High speed Internet the device name for 'local area connection2' =
3com gigabit.
select that connection right click and disable.
might need a reboot. it's been ages since I did this.

If you're not on dial up, use another solution. I'd guess you're missing a
driver if not on dial up.
