I have Win98SE 40GB HDD/256MB also have a broadband connection and a regular Dial up Dialler which works okay. If I try to "Make New Connection" with using another Dial up ISP it makes a new connection, however when I try to "connect" with that error box says no dial tone detected error 680 install modem. I do not know why this happens, as previously I had no problems whatsoever using this extra Dial Up ISP, checked in MODEMS everything seems okay. If I insert the new ISP telephone number/ID/PW into the old ISP Dialler I can connect okay to this new ISP but I cannot make a new connection in Dial Up Networking. Please help. Regards - K Dholoo

Do you have broadband & a fax modem connected to you PC? It sounds like your new dial up is possibly defaulting to your fax modem, not your broadband. Right click on your dial up icon, left click on properties, look to make sure that your broadband modem is the device the dial up is using & NOT your fax modem. Good luck.

Hi

just go to connection properties and there will be an option " Wait for dial tone" ,,,,remove the check mark before it and it should solve the problem
