Re: Mysterious Internet Connection Problem

Just to clarify... the device I know of as a DSL line filter is designed to block out the DSL signals from the phone line, so that you can use a regular phone and not hear the humming, clicking, beeping, etc that [Al] was referring to. However, since it blocks out the DSL signal, the modem won't work if it's connected to a line that is being filtered.

So...I think [Stormnnormn] already referred to this, but the stupid question is, do you have the DSL modem hooked to a line that has a filter on it?

Correct:
Code:
Incoming line-------+---Filter-----Phone
                    |
                    ---------------Modem
Incorrect:
Code:
Incoming line-------+---Filter-----Phone
                    |
                    ----Filter-----Modem
