Broadband and dial up

Jun 24, 2008 3:41AM PDT

Hello
Recently went with Tiscali broadband but still need to use dial up for my work pc. Have all the filters etc in place,was working fine until yesterday - broadband still works but unable to dialup. Have disconnected broadband wireless router etc,no difference made. Have tried my work pc at 2 colleagues houses and it works fine there on dialup so am guessing the internal modem is fine. Any ideas?please?!
