Try another cable?
Does the PC attempt to dial out at all?
Have you setup the details within the modem configuration?
Have you setup the correct telephone number/settings within internet explorer?

yes i have set up everything it try to dial and after like maybe 5 to 10 secs it pops up no dial tone i know that the cable is good and it didnt work even before i updated it i thought that maybe that the jack wasnt connected to the modem so i took the laptop apart but it was so i am kinda stuck at this point the modem itself shouldnt be defective cause its self diagonstic came up fine

self diagnostic can say 1 thing but modem will do other as learned from experience. more than likely blew a component on the modem jack section as come across that a couple of times. i presume modem is built in, correct??

Damn, you must be too frigging young. You remembered.

I remember an oops way back when, but it wasn't the Agent Orange affect. It was the cold Minnesota winter that did it that time.

Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :)
