Redirected loop fault?

May 05, 2005 0 Replies

Hi, this is my first post on here.



I have had problems with my telephone line; when my modem (BT Voyager


205 ADSL Router) is plugged into the phone socket, there there is a

hissing noise on the phone line. Then, when you plug in computer to the



filter as well, just static on phone; no dialing tone. Incoming callers



go straight to BT answer 1571.



BT engineer has dicovered that the fault is a 'redirected loop',. He



says that the phones on their own work fine; so does broadband alone.



He reckons that the fault is in the computer (Apple eMac) & also the



modem. Modem can easily be replaced. Any ideas what I can do to resolve



this on my computer.



Any advice would be much appreciated.
