if i change from ethernet to usb
if i changed from ethernet to usb is that cause any problems?
i used ethernet for 7 months but when i bought a new computer with windows xp home edition (its already installed everything) - ethernet connection worked, there wasn't any problem
unfortunateley i have to remove the xp home edition to proffessional , when i did that etheernet didn't work
still i can't solve this problem
i ahve tried rebooting the modem, uninstall the ethernet adapter and reinstalling again, nothing worked.
so i changed to usb, its seems to be very slow than ethernet
why these things happen?
please help me

Re: if i change from ethernet to usb
Below is the easiest way to verify
Unplug the Ethernet Cable
in my computer select network places (on the left hand menu)
Then select network adapters (left hand menu)
make sure that your network adapter shows as not connected (there should be a red cross in the bottom left hand corner of the icon)
plug the ethernet back in & make sure the icon changes to connected.
press start
type "CMD" and hit enter
type "IPCONFIG"
This should now display your IP address & it should be an external one (ie it will not start 192 or 10)
if it still shows an internal adress try typing the following in the "DOS Box"
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
this will release the current IP & try and obtain a new address.
If this doesn't work, let me know and i will give you a few other things to try.

Re: if i change from ethernet to usb
have you verified that the modem is not at fault by plugging it into another machine via ethernet?

Re: if i change from ethernet to usb
if it is saying the same thing
(and i am presuming it is saying ""the following steps of the operation failed: renewing the ip address. please contact your network administrator or ISP"").
Then it does sound like your modem is nackered.
Another idea.... were both machines configured with the same network adapter & OS?
