I have a  problem reconnecting to the internet. I boot up, connect and 
everything is  okay, but if I disconnect but leave my PC running, then try to reco
nnect I get  all sorts of messages like "There is no dial tone" "Connection has 
failed" The  only way I can go back online is to restart my PC.
Can anyone explain what  is happening and how to rectify the problem?



Dorthy,
 I had the same problem plus sporadically loosing connection. First  thought 
it was phone cable connection because replacing the cable fixed it for a  
time. But when it started again I removed and reseated the modem and all has  
worked fine since. Hope your problem is as simple to remedy.
