what wud you do?

i cant get on the internets it says somethign about the dial tone
ok , well that means that your computer’s picking up the phone line and not hearing a dial tone. you should check your cables to be sure they’re plugged in properly. If they are, it might be a problem with your modem.
i put america online on there, you reckon that got anything to do with it?
i dont think so, no dial tone means somethings not right with the connection
what would you do if you were me?
check the phone cable
i put that america online on there, you think that’s it
