Chris,
Does your phone dialer work? If you can dial out then the problem is from the other end and not your modem. If it does not dial out, remove the cable from your modem and put a phone on the line free of the computer. Do you get a dial tone. If it does, the problem lies in your system. If it is the modem, try the modem troubleshooting section?

  I use Netzero to connect to the internet. It was fine a few days ago and all of sudden I began recieving "No dial-tone" errors when I tryied to connect. I checked all of my phone line connections and all were fine. I removed my modem drivers and re-installed with no success.I unchecked the "Wait for dial tone box" and nothing happened.  I removed netzero and re-installed with no success. I bought a new modem and had the same problem. I then put in the ATX1 init string and my modem finally started to dial the phone numbers in my access list. I have 5 different numbers in my list. It goes through all numbers and then I get an error "unable to connect to any numbers in the list" Could this be because of the init string? If i take it out, how can I resolve the no dial tone error? I also went into control panel and into modems and then the diagnostics tab and queryed the modem and it appears that my modem is functioning properly.
