I have drivers all checking out ok (winxp)...when i plug modem jack into RJ45 jack the phone sharing the wall plug loses its dial tone. When I pull the plug in back of computer dial tone comes back. What could this problem be?

A bad modem

(Or, bad wiring - make sure to use a line cord that has only 2 wires connected; normally phone jacks are RJ11 (4-connector); RJ-45 is normally used for networking.
