Hi
My ADSL modem which I have been using through usb for months has died, my ISP sent me a new Modem,new different model,when I installed,it will only install and work through the Ethernet port, now heres my problem. Ethernet cable goes to PS3 USB goes to PC thats how i have been doing it before and now it wont work,even on its own,when i install through the step by step instructions for USB, it keeps saying " cant find gateway ". then it says i selected the wrong adsl modem etc, then when i choose the other one , it says i choose the wrong one again...and theres only 2 to select from lmao... Whats wrong with this crap?, when i plug in the usb, the light on the modem under USB flashes, but the gateway cannot be found... This post has been edited by Renzoblade: Oct 19 2007, 07:11 AM |

Hi, Are you absolutely sure you can use both at once, I had a modem that would only use either usb or ethernet but not both at the same time on 2 different pcs This post has been edited by bobhome: Oct 20 2007, 08:33 AM -------------------- REGARDS

If it is the correct disk, have you tried it in another usb port, have you turned pc off then started it with it plugged in to a different usb port so that windows will install it? Another thing, how do they know that it is your pc at fault, it could still be a faulty new modem they have sent you.
