My sister brought me her computer tower to work on. I updated her Norton AntiVirus and installed XP Service Pack 2. She has dial up and I have DSL. I just plugged in my ethernet cable and done the work. She took it home and now when she plugs it into her dial up, it kills her phone line. When she plugged it into her power strip, it made the powerstrip squeal. Any ideas what I needed to do to set it back up for dial up. Thank You

Tell her to unplug the phonecord from the NETWORK card and plug it into the MODEM and pray she didn't fry the system.

This is common; the only thing that you need to do is recreate the dial up connection.
Go to Start
Then to Run
Then type in INETWIZ
Follow the on screen prompts and you will be all set
If you want to be sure the correct connection is found you can remove all old connections.
To do that you can open Internet Explorer
then go to Tools
Then Internet Options
Then click on the connections tab
and remove everything in there.
Your sister will need to have the dial up number that she uses from her Internet Service Provider.
