Hey all, I have 2MB broadband. I recently installed Windows Vista as my 2nd operating system. My internet works fine on XP, but when I try to install the broadband on Vista with NTL CD I get a compability error. I'm using a USB connection.

After reading a few threads with same problem, I found out that it will work fine if I use ethernet connection. The reason I'm using USB is because I have 1 ethernet card on 2 of my computers. 1st computer is connected to modem via USB and ethernet card is used for connecting my 1st PC to my 2nd PC in order to share the connection.

Some people said that new drivers are supposed to be released soon, which will make connection work on Vista via USB. Can someone tell me if they have already been released or if not, when are they going to be released?

Also is there any other way to have an ethernet connection and share the connection on 2 computers, without buying any other hardware?
