Hi there -
Apologies in advance if my question if too straight forward for all you techies out there, but here goes....
My SACM is connected to my elderly PC via a USB port because I don't have any room on the back of the PC to add a network card, and it has worked perfectly since day one.
I'm interested in trying out Vonage - one of these new internet phone companies, but their website says:
"You will need to switch your high-speed Internet connection from USB to Ethernet in order to use our service. If your computer does not have an Ethernet card, you can purchase a USB to Ethernet Converter to connect your computer to the Linksys RT31P2 Phone Adapter, and ultimately the Internet."
So, if I buy a USB to Ethernet adapter and install it will my internet access kick back in again straight away, or will I have to re-install everything?
I would be grateful for any advice before I start playing around.
Many thanks
Glenn ;)
