PC connection problem
9 Answers
Hi,
I have a problem that when I use the ADSL splitter and attach the PC cable both the phone and internet won't respond. When I take out the PC cable the phone does respond. Also there is no Internet light on the wireless box.
When I connect the wireless box to the phone socket direct and use a twin adapter I can use both.
Any ideas please.
Thx
Tony

Alternatively can you take your kit to a friend's house and try it there ? (Admittedly that would involve setting up for the new situation/phone number though, which is a bit offputting).
I'm also wondering if the wall socket is a bit dodgy, that inserting the phone alone, for some reason, doesn't nudge something out, but the splitter plug loses the connection. Maybe a loose connection there.
Can only really suggest experimenting, try to 'tie down' which bit of kit has the problem.
