Get privacy manager. That usually stops the unwanted call. And if it doesn't they have to tell you who is calling. An operator comes on the phone and asks you if you want to accept the call or no. That has stopped a ton of unwanted calls at my house.

if you are having problems with adult things on your pc, you might want to think of using spyware/ antiviruses. Odds are, if there are adult things on your pc there are dialers as well. these can be used to call very high costing #'s and run your phone bill sky high!

Switch of the power to your modem and leave for 5 Min's, then switch back on and leave for another 5 Min's, that might do it.\nAlso check your security settings.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nGood Luck.

That's typical of dial up service, on Windows 98 computers. with later computers, you'd still lose your internet connectin, but you wont get teh freezing.  There is sa device, that allows a computer to be online with out interfering with the phone, but I'm not sure how it works, or what's it's called. But someplace I some times vounteer, used to have one.

You should either abandon the dialup for something better (at least DSL, then you don't have to worry about phone calls), or you should get a seperate phone line (they are inexpensive).  If you MUST use dialup on the same line, then there are plenty of programs for that.  Check download.com .

The other person is right they blocked the call because they don't want you to no who is calling you. Also you can stop that to, by calling your phone company. They have a service that you can get and they won't be able to call you unless they unblock their number. This service cost a little more but some times it is worth it. I have it myself.

the person calling you has their number blocked through the phone company.  there's nothing that you can do unless that person wants to unblock their number.

Hi,\n\nTo me it seems a RPC problem.\nTo resolve this -\n\nGo to CONTROL PANEL -> ADMINISTRATIVE OPTIONS -> SERVICES\n\nAnd find an entry begining with RPC (Remote Procedural Calls)\n\nIn the properties window, go on to RECOVERY tab. In the action combo box, select "Take no action"\n\nNow click OK and shutdown.\n\nI guess there should be no problem.\n\nIf the problem continues, please verify if any softwares running in the background need Internet for connection. In that case, type MSCONFIG at Start Button -> RUN. Uncheck everything at Startup.\n\nSee if this helps.\n\nCheers!

You can't make cellular calls from computer for free of cost. You need to buy a calling package from Yahoo!, Skype, etc.,

maybe your network administrator has blocked it for policy reasons.

Try Contacting the CS of your Cell phone Provider and he/she would probably be able to assist you with that...

You cant do much about since the problem must be in your line. Contact your DSL support helpline so that they can pinpoint your problem whether its at your end on theirs.They will give to the exact solution.
