I posted this before hoping I might find someone knowledgable that could help but I think the post was pushed down the list from so many new ones so I'm trying again:

A couple nights ago I was online and I lost my connection which wasn't so significant because I have dial up and it routinely does that after 2-3 hours. I was always able to simple dial back up without a problem but this time it said there was no dial tone. I was tired anyway so I just went to bed figuring it was a "brain fart" and it'd go back to normal the next time I started it up.

Well, it didn't. I went to Control Panel and it said the modem was operating properly so then I went to the telephone line connected to my comp. I switched it out for several others which didn't yield any success so I plugged the phone into the cords to make sure they worked...no problem there either.

I even did a did a system recovery to restore everything to factory condition thinking maybe there was a virus that may have done something...again no luck.

Is there anything else I may have missed? Considering what I tried the only thing I can think of is a hardware failure...

I'd appreciate any thoughts

What Internet you using?

Example : AOL, SBC Yahoo etc...

Dialup always kick out.

Just get cable connection and you should be fine.

Check the phone plug on the back of your pc to see if it's unplug or something or from the phone jack. This happens to me alot.

Or you forgot to pay for the phone bill.

I'm using PeoplePC. I wish I could get broadband but I'm like one of the last 10 people in the U.S. that lives where it's not available ubfortunately. I also checked to make sure the cables were all plugged into the appropriate inputs. And the phone bill is fully paid
