Simple answer - you only need the ntl disk if you use USB as you have to load drivers for the USB

Cheers, xp should be able to assign ip will it???

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

Yep standard default XP settings should enable the ethernet connection to get an autoassigned IP from the modem

Thanks for that he will not listen so i print it and take it to him that will shut him up!!

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

If he wants to use the CD, there is no reason why he shouldn't. It just will personalise Internet Explorer to ntl, and maybe a few other minor things. It won't do any harm, it's just not essential.

USB or ETHERNET, how about putting it this way: SKODA or FERRARI :)

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

Ethernet.

Re: USB or ETHERNET

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

Oh dear, bit of an anorak is he?

Re: USB or ETHERNET

10mbit line usb download speed 500k
10 mbit line on ETHERNET download speed 1.40mbit
same pc same modem same line

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

as jack points out, USB1.1 is SLOWER than 10mbit/sec so seems a bit silly to use it :)

Re: USB or ETHERNET
 

Sorry, I just joined as I have to take umbrage at some of the posts - there is FA wrong with a Skoda!!

I've got a vRS Octavia, sound as a pound and quick to boot.
You can't compare usb and ethernet using skoda, it's more like comparing Huwei (Skoda) with Cisco (Ferrari).
The name's crap but under the bonnet there's bugger all difference except the price tag :)
