Botched Networking

[bojovan]

I tried unsuccessfully to set up a wireless network and now I have a problem with my phone, it will ring at least one time when I start my computer. This is very annoying and has me totally confused...
I have a dial up modem...

so is it the wireless network that is giving you the problem or the dialing? if its the dialing ... that is one of the weirdest problems ive heard of

I gave up, for now, on the networking until I receive more hardware to fix the problem. My concern now is that I must have done something to cause my phone to falsely ring when my PC is restarted and I would like to fix this problem!

How did you attempt the wireless networking and what hardware did you use as it should have no effect on your phoneline at all?

I beleive if you have a bad earth on the phoneline it can cause problems perhaps you should recheck you phoneline connections for anything untowards.

During my attempt to set up the connection I was ask how I connected to the internet and my choice was through a dialup connection, this being my phone line, I figure it could have something to do with the problem being I didn't have it before!
