In a communication network, a terminal (6) is arranged for communication with a terminal (26) via a packet switched network (16). To do so, the terminal (6) is connected via a gateway (4) to the packet switched network, and the terminal (26) is connected via the gateway (24) to the packet switched network. If the gateway (24) is connected via a dial up connection over the public telephone network (14) it may happen that the gateway (24) is not connected to the packet switched network (16) resulting in a failure when the terminal (6) tries to contact the terminal (26) via the packet switched network (16). According to the present invention, the gateway (4) is arranged for dialing the gateway (24) directly via the public telephone network (14) and requesting that the gateway (24) connects to the packet switched network (16). After the gateway (24) is connected to the packet switched network (16), the terminal (6) can connect the terminal (26) via the packet switched network (16). |
