Solving Travel Connection Problems

If you experience connection problems while using a modem
outside the country in which you purchased the notebook, the
following suggestions may be helpful.
Before changing any settings, you may want to write down your
current settings so you can quickly replace those settings when
you return home.
Check the Line
A modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line. A line
described as a PBX line is usually a digital line. A telephone line
described as a data line, fax machine line, modem line, or
standard telephone line is probably an analog line.
Check the Dialing Mode
Dial a few digits on the telephone, then listen for clicks or tones.
Clicks indicate that the telephone line supports pulse dialing.
Tones indicate that the telephone line supports tone dialing. To set
an internal modem to support a dialing mode:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet
Connections category.
2. From the See Also menu in the left column of the window,
select Phone and Modem Options > Dialing Rules tab.
3. Select your location, then select the Edit button.
4. Select the Tone or Pulse radio button.
5. Select the OK button > OK button.
