Tips
to try before
calling RTC Internet's Help Desk
1. Shut down your computer, modem (and router if
applicable) for at least 30 seconds, then restart. If
any of the indicator lights are out after doing this,
call Tech support (see numbers below).
2. Release and renew your IP address.
For Windows XP, Vista, & Windows 7:
Click Start, then Run. Type
command in the box, then click OK. This
will open a DOS window. At the command prompt, type
ipconfig /release, then press enter. After
the command executes, type ipconfig / renew
at the command prompt, then press enter. After the command
executes, type exit then press enter. This
will exit the DOS window. Retry connecting to the Internet.
If you still cant connect, call Tech support (see
numbers below).
3. The home page you selected may be unavailable. Try
typing a different address in the address bar or go
to a site in your favorites list.
4. Make sure all single line devices in your home have
a filter on them (i.e., telephones, answering machines,
fax machines, etc.) If you don't have extra filters,
unplug the devices without a filter to see if the problem
clears up. NOTE: The modem should not have a filter.
5. Have you installed a new network interface device?
If so, we will need to add the new adapter address to
our server. Call Tech support (see numbers below) to
give us the new adapter address.
