Problems changing USB to Ethernet connection to run wireless broadband router

juliebateman · 30-07-2005, 13:10

Please can anyone help.
I have just purchased a wireless broadband router which runs on an ethernet connection. Previously my broadband was running on a USB connection. I have been told to change it to ethernet but get an error message telling me that the USB is present even after uninstalling. I am also afraid to get rid of the 1364 adapter which keeps giving an error message. Is this adapter already on my computer or is it being downloaded from my ntl installation cd if so may I delete it as if needed I could recover it again from the installation disc.
Many thanks,
Julie Bateman

Turn the PC and the modem off, then disconnect USB, connect Ethernet, then turn the modem on, then the PC, and it should work.

Uninstall the USB cable modem drivers.

1364 adaptor? Do you mean 1394? That would be a Firewire connection - nothing to do with the broadband.

Surely if the device isn't connected the drivers won't be loaded... or at least won't be as much of a problem?

That's practically what I just said.
