Cable Forum - View Single Post - problems changing from USB -> Ethernet

lf86 · 20-04-2004, 16:58

hi all,
im running windows xp and I have a terayon tj210 cable modem, I've used the USB connection since i first got bb, have been attempting in the last few days to make the switch over to ethernet, ive read so many help guides etc and it all seems so EASY (!) but mine is being an arse. Windows is reporting the connection as 'network cable unplugged'. Now I've tried two different realtek NIC's, straight-over and cross-over cable (as I wasnt sure which one it was the cm needed, both brand new cables anyway) and I've left the modem powered off for around 30 mins or so, as I had read in some places. None of this seemed to work. So finally the only thing I can think of is that maybe I need to let the IP lease expire? As in leave it for 12 hours?
all help gratefully received,
Liam
