Shouldn't that be
/me strokes his Cable modem.
?

Under DUN, select the connection and press properties, then go to the modem proterties, under the connection tab, there is a checkbox labelled 'Wait for Dial Tone Before Dialling'
Try unchecking that.

It depends on your modem, mine just ignores it although it does detect no dial tone when there really isn't.

There should be an option for it not to wait for a dial tone.

Make it dial without waiting for a dial tone, and you should still be able to use your 1571 service.

Not sure how you do this though. I've been on broadband for quite a while now.

just figured it out. Apparently when you have a 1571 mesage on your bt phone it changes the dial tone making it impossible to dial an internet connection
