In reply to azscary:- As far as I can ascertain, the TCP & MS networks are installed OK and I will try the new drivers later if all else fails. Thanks for that lead.
I have since read that NO CARRIER means that a carrier signal is missing which allows the transfer of a data signal? Any ideas what generates the carrier signal please?
In reply to glc:- I installed a CD rom disc from ntlworld (a free ISP through the digital TV and telephone system) in order to register. After following all instructions on screen, you click on NEXT to dial a toll-free number (which is not listed) presumably in order to sort out your Username and Password etc. The number dials out OK and if engaged, you get the busy tone and a redial, but if it isn't engaged, the number rings out then.....nothing. After 2 or 3 redials you get error messages to check phone line etc. The modem text log simply states NO CARRIER.
Apologies for the late reply. I sent one last night which obviously didn't get through as it's not listed.
