Help, Internet Connect/Modem Icon unresponsive, takes 5-10 tries to dial
Recently, my iMac/400 (built-in Modem) has developed a problem with connecting to the internet. Normally, I would click the modem icon and select 'connect.' The machine would immediately begin dialing.
Now when I select the 'connect,' nothing happens. So, I have started opening 'Internet Connect' when I want to get online. This doesn't solve anything, but I can atleast see something happening. When I click the connect button on IC (which is active) it becomes grayed out, but nothing else will change that I can see. It stays this way for a few seconds and then returns to its original state. I need to click it multiple times before it will begin dialing PPP. When it does work, it begins to dial as soon as I click the button.
What is going wrong? I there any way I can see more details about what is happening during this pause? I thought it was isolated to my user, but my GF complained that it is also doing it on hers.
