2.If your modem cable has noise suppression circuitry 2, which prevents interference with TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the notebook.

3.Plug the modem cable into the RJ-11 telephone jack (not the RJ-45 network jack) on the notebook 3.

4.Plug the other end of the modem cable into an RJ-11 telephone jack (not into an RJ-45 network jack or a PBX jack) 4.
