I just got my dsl (DirecTV) the other day and hooked it up through USB and everything worked fine. Today I tried to hook it up the eternet and it will not work so I decided to hook it up through USB again. The problem is I want to network it with my other computer. I bought a Netgear 4 port 10Base-T Ethernet hub. I dont know if this is what I need or not but I have 14 days to return it to circuit city. After I uninstalled the dsl program and hooked up the router it would not work. I had a crossover cable coming from the dsl modem to the 1st port on the router at first. Since I know very little about networking I thought this might be the problem so I switched the crossover cable with a regular cable. This didnt work either. Next I tried to hook it up through ethernet stright from the modem to the computer. It still did locate the modem. This has led me to believe there is a problem with the modem. I was wondering if the modem was working right would the way I had the network work???
