Re: Generic tech question-dsl but no dial tone on one extension? Sigh again. "Dirty open" seems likely.
I moved the fax machine to the jack with dial tone, installed HP's bloated software on the computer in that office, got it up and running (and receiving and sending faxes). Then I took an older printer/fax back to my office, plugged it in and on a whim connected it to the jack AND attached the handset - and there was a dialtone. The difference? 30 minutes of dry weather. Since the jack is on the third floor, with a straight run down to ground level outside, this requires extension ladders I suspect. The jacks are probably not in series, by the way - we may have had the installers do a split down by the NID to run up to my office, since one jack is on a north wall, and one is on the south. |
