Re: Pick up handset???
Figured it out.....
Go into control panel, network connections.....highlight the connection and under the Advanced menu, uncheck "operator-assisted dialing". Thanks anyway!

Seeing as you have snipped the OP's question I'll place it back in the thread and answer your question. "I am attempting to support a customers WinXP machine, which is asking that she 'Pick up the handset and dial' whenever she attempts to connect to the internet. She can connect, after manually entering the number on her phone, but the machine will not dial itself. Is there a simple setting somewhere which is causing this? If not, where should I go from here? I'm stumped. In 4 years of technical support, I have never encountered this problem." Now in answer to your question to me, yes I did read the question. Now you tell me, where does the OP say anything about which software is being used to dial? -- www.absey-vine.co.uk/ freeware, helpdesk, ad-aware mirror |

The point is this: "which is asking that she 'Pick up the handset and dial' whenever she attempts to connect to the internet. She can connect, after manually entering the number on her phone, but the machine will not dial itself." To which you reply: "Is she using Windows Dialer, which only dials a number and requires lifting the handset, or is she trying to use the software that came with the modem?" Now look at the OP's statements above, then look at your reply. If you still can't see what's wrong I'll explain it to you. |
