Help with broadband modems please
muddyjames:
What I had
input from BT --> extension lead --> adsl splitter --> phone 1 side modem the other.
What I would like to achieve
Cordless phone with answer machine built in by front door, normal phone on desk in my bedroon next to the pc which has broadband.
bits I have
2 phones, (1 a handfree cordless jobby with built in answer machine. Has 2 cables. can either be plugged into normal bt plug or can be plugged into adsl plug and it still works then.) 1 broad band modem, 2 adsl filters, long extension lead.
What I have tried
BT input on wall --> adsl spliter 1 side has new cordless phone in other side extension lead. extension lead --> adsl spliter. 1 side has modem other side has normall push button phone.
BT input on wall --> adsl spliter 1 side has nothing in other side has phone doubler, 1 with new phone in other side with extension lead. extension lead --> adsl spliter. 1 side has modem other side has normal push button phone.
Same as both above but no spliter when entering the house. ADSL splitters just 1 at a time before the modem goes into the pc and they work.
What doesnt happen
modem comes up saying no dial tone.
What does happen
Always get a dial tone
Any help or suggestions greatly recieved.

:? Have you got new software ,not sure but i don't think broadband looks for a dial tone so it could be down to settings??have a look whats going of in devices?
muddyjames:
No new software.
No new modem. if I have just 1 phone with 1 pliter by the pc it all works fine 99% of the time. Occasionaly I get cut off and have to close Epxplorer to reconnect but thats another problem! It is only when I add in another splitter it tells me there is no dial tone.
Modem, normal phone, extension lead, 2 spliters all work as I used them for 2 years in my old house.
