The one phone jack which works is the one located near the DSL modem (in the basement). The next two floors up are no longer working. I've also tried to unplug everything to be sure a surge was not causing the problem.

They did something with your line pairs during the install. Most likly your home phone line is ran in a so called "home run" fashion and when they were installing they somehow got the pairs being used for phone lines messed up or they actaully disconnected the rest of the run.

For starters, make sure you're plugging your cable from your wall to the correct jack in your modem.  One usually has a phone icon - don't use that one for the wall connection.  Use that for an actual phone.\n\nIf your hear a dial tone from your speakers when you try to fax someone, then that's a good thing - your fax is trying to start up and dial.  If you don't hear a dial tone, again check your plugs.  It may even help to check the wall outlet as well, since that may be part of the problem.\n\nAs for dialing, you can usually go either way with dashes or no dashes.  Just be sure to use area codes where necessary.\n\nNow be warned - sometimes sending a fax over a cable modem won't work out.  I've had that told to me once, and it turned out that it did work in my case.  But then recently, I tried to fax and they didn't go through all the way.  I had to do some fancy trickery to get things right again, but it worked out in the end.\n\nBTW, the link below is from Microsoft's website.  It may help with some minor usage and troubleshooting.

It sounds like you have DSL service. Genreally with DSL you need to put a DSL filter on every phone and on your router. It filters out the signals and prevents issues like you are having. I would call your internet provider and ask for thier assistance also. Generally they provide these with your DSL modem.

Four possible problems --\n\n1) Modem is not working correctly and needs fixed or replaced.\n\n2) You are getting bad signals on the line (corrupted line) and the modem is getting mixed up on how to handle.\n\n3) A slight possible problem is that your options on your computer are not set properly to handle the DSL hookup, but I doubt this since it only happens every few weeks. \n\n4) Power or power spikes at the DSL Provider company is causing the DSL line to have errors and the DSL device stops working.  This can happen in lighting storms, High wind, or someone hits a power pole! \n\nIn both cases, you need your DSL representative to send a technical person to do a check of your line and modem to be sure they are in good working order.\n\nThe technical person will likely tell you that since you are not getting the problem more often that they are likely not going to be able to trace down the problem.  \n\nSuggestion -- See if there is a log on your Internet connect that can be set on to trace all communications.  You have a good chance of catching what is causing the problem if your computer has the capability to log problems.  Mine is done through the security software I have installed.\n\nRecommend going to Cable if you can.  It does not cost too much more and you will have far fewer problems!

It might be your modem. Happened to me before, but instead with Time Warner. They might have upgraded and you're stuck in the past. Call them and tell them what is wrong. Either that or your connection from main cable line is bad. It could also be a low power output to your house if you have multiple TVs/internet connections on same line.

Could be one of several reasons, but first I would check the frequency used by your cordless phone, then check the frequencies used by both your wirless network router and your speaker.  If that doesn't work contact the wireless speaker manufacturer

Did the CD and internet radio worked earlier ? or you are trying it for the first time. If you are trying it for the first time, check the user Manual.\n\nIf it was working fine earlier and now there is a problem, then you should take it to the nearby service center and ask him to repair it. If the warranty period is still alive, you can get the repairing free of cost.\n\nAll the best

You can find out easily if thats the problem.  \n\nStep 1. Shut off your computer completely \nStep 2. Unplug the cable from the router and plug it directly from your computer to the phone dsl jack in your wall.\n\nin other words unplug the router.  Don't uninstall the router as there is no need but unplug it and shut off the power to it.\n\nThen get on the Internet and try the phone.  If it still is making the sound we know for sure it's not your router.\n\nIf the sound is not there it's probably your router.

It is very possible that the DC jack is broken on the motherboard and shorting out the adapter. Dell says that the DC jacks can not be repaired, but often you can replace them. I would recommend taking it to a local computer repair firm and see what they say. I have replaced DC jacks for several customers, but always with the warning that the repair itself could further damage the computer. If done succesfully, the 120 bucks to replace a dc jack is much cheaper than having the entire motherboard replaced.

The best way is to setup the DataBox to the Demarcation where Bell used to be, then it will make all your existing jacks work with the VoIP.  It is pretty kewl eh?  Bell has to whip something up fast to be able to combat what VoIP is doing now.\n\nHogan

sometimes routers and modems "get stupid". Try unhooking the power and ethernet cables from the back of the modem and router if you have one. Wait 10-30 seconds then plug them back in. This is one way to RESET the modem and router. YOu might have to do this from time to time. Its nothing to worry about.

Details please!  Dial up?  DSL? Cable?  Router?  Do you turn anything off at night?  What is it that you restart with the task manager?

I did what he said on my daughter's computer and that worked on hers, but on mine I had to go to Control Panel, then Sounds and Audio Devices, then top tab of AUDIO, then the top selection of sound playback default device, mine was set on Modem #0 Line Playback.  There was a thing to change it to that said VIA Audio (Wave).  That made my internet sounds work again.  But like I said, on my daughter's computer she had that little exclamation mark and I clicked update driver and then hers was fixed.  Good luck if you haven't resolved it yet~
