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

if get a no dialup tone & replaced telephone cord gives you same result then replace the modem as a component blew.

You do get a dial tone on your phone right? Obviously if you don't, that's one for your phone provider, not (necessarily) the fault of the modem

Yep,there's definately a dial tone. Sadly it looks like a new modem might be the fix...a few people recommended reinstalling the drivers so I'll try that first and see if it does anything
