Ok I switched to ethernet, and since I managed to get it to work I have had some problems, on every reboot I have to manually renew the device to get a external IP address which of course is very annoying, another problem is it will be a new ip address every time which to be honest is a pain because a lot of my needs require a ip address that doesnt change, stuff I use relies on ip address access lists. I dual boot Windows XP has the above problems, Windows 98 has only managed to not get a 169. address ONCE, now if I release wait 10 secs then renew it just ignores it and wont give me an external address, usb wouldnt work in win98 at all but worked perfect in windows XP.

Are the above issues in ethernet normal, I have an external ntl home cable modem.
