Hi
Keith,
I'm
not talking about an earth loop but the fact that one of the wires may be
earthed somehow. That would short the phoneline to earth and effectively
take
the phone off the hook.
Start with the RIO.
Disconnect everything from it and plug it into the line -
OK -
next
Faulty - its duff :-(
Reconnect leads one by one until things stop
working.
Start with the power lead but the power turned
off
Turn
power on
Connect audio output
etc.....
Report back on the results

Keith,
When the rio goes straight to the server all
seems to work ok, so I would have thought if it was an earth or a loop it
would manifest itself here. Without the Rio the phones all work ok even
with
my sky box on the one the Rio plug into, so I'm assuming the wiring is ok
there as well.
I've tried swapping the wire that connects the
Rio to the phone point and both cables have the same effect, no dial tone
on
the phone. If the pins were reversed in the phone outlet (installed by Sky)
then again I assume the sky box would not work, but it does.
Any other ideas, tests I could do to narrow
down the problem, lend me a towel to throw in!
Cheers,
Keith

Sounds like it may be earthing the line or putting a loop across
it.
Another possibility is that the wiring on pins 2 & 5 may be
reversed at one of the jacks.
This can cause the bell circuit to become connected across the
line.

I'm using my Rio receiver with the HPNA
card, all is fine as I have a separate extension lead between the device
and my PC, but I want to link it to the other phone wires. here's the
problem, when the rio is connected it makes my phone line engaged all
the time. I have adsl but i've made sure that between the pc and the rio
there are no filters. can any one give me any pointers.
Thanks,
Keith
