Make sure that the Local Dialing Rules don't specify to disable call waiting:

Start > Settings > Network Connections,  Right click the ISP connection you
use, and select properties.  If the "Dialing Rules" box is checked, then
click the Dialing Rules button. When the Location panel pops up, then click
on Edit for the location highlighted.  If the "Disable call waiting using"
check box is checked, uncheck it.  Otherwise check it, click apply, then
uncheck it and click apply.   Sometime a bit will get out of whack and
toggling it will fix it.

If you have Microsoft Service Pack 1 (AP1) installed, this is a known
problem.  See MS Knowledgebase article below to get the fix:

I hope at least one of your problems can be resolved!
