Make sure your modem resets before you try again. (Turn
off your modem, wait a minute, then turn it back on.)
Check the following on your handheld:
Confirm that the telephone cable is securely attached to
your modem.
Make sure the dialing instruction dials the correct phone
number.
If you need to dial an outside line prefix, make sure you selected
the Dial Prefix option on your handheld and entered the correct
code.
If the telephone line you are using has Call Waiting, make
sure you selected the Disable call waiting option under
