Are you setting up Internet explorer to use LAN connection on your ethernet card. Never used USB so don't know how that works.

When you use USB it will just create another adapter, works the same as Ethernet just that you need to install the drivers for the modem. I've come across several modems where the Ethernet portion just crapped out, sometimes just the CAT5 cable crapped out but I'm sure you tried that already.
