[QUOTE="rman, post: 98764, member: 23"] Here is what I see. The modem port take a RJ11 plug, whereas the ethernet port takes a RJ45 plug. Now I am guessing here, but it sound like to me you are using your modem to dial up. Even thou you may not be connected to the port. From when I was using DSL you would put filters on all of your phone lines. Then connect your DSL modem to the a free phone line with out a filter. The you connect your computer to the DSL modem. The RJ11 cord will plug into the wall outlet and the DSL modem. The RJ45 will connect from the DSL modem to the computer. the other thing that just came to mine is that you maybe trying to connect using the RJ11 cord. The RJ11 plug will plug into a RJ45 port, but it will be va ery loose fit. With all that said, please give us a description of your environment. That will help us better to assist you in resolving your problem. [/QUOTE]
