| so tell us chis, what happens when you put the CD in the drive?
the only time you would need to use the CD is if the modem is being connected via USB. Thats the advantage that cable broadband has over adsl, theres an ethernet port on your modem, so use it.
a) its a more stable connection
b) its driverless
c) did i mention its more stable?
heres a run down of what i do, whenever i configure peoples cable broadband.
Plug in modem
Optionally plug in router, if there sharing
Plug in ethernet cable to pc.
Connect into modem using engineering IP to check communication with the modem is possible, if using a router, connect to default gateway first, then to engineering IP.
Connection to cable modem successful, internet operational.
Where do i need the CD?
