You DO NOT need to uninstall the cable modem usb drivers if you want to install on ethernet... it is a three stage process:
1. unplug power to cable modem and disconnect usb cable
2. wait 30 seconds and reboot cable modem
3. plug ethernet cable into cable modem and pc.
You should then be browsing on ethernet. If you cannot, make sure that the network card is appearing properly in the device manager. On XP you should also see the network card appearing in the network connections section of the control panel as a "local area connection". If you double click on this and click support, you will see the ip address which should start 80/81/82/213 or 62/3/4 if it is anything else, please report back.....
