Well I tried to swap from USB to Ethernet following the steps in the link.

1. I powered down my PC.

2. powered down my modem.

3. Unplugged USB at bothe ends.

4. Plugged in Ethernet cable to PC and modem.

5. Waited a while and turned PC back on.

The ONLY lights that were on my modem were the ENET and the D/S came on and off and on and off and on and off....You get the idea??HEhehe.

No other lights came on at any point I was especially looking for sync and ready...but nothing.......

Did I do it right?? I was thinking I did not wait long enough for the modem to settle down?? I only waited maybe 2-3 minutes. It kept doing the same thing so i powered the PC back up.

If I needed to wait longer then I will do this tomorrow as I have been on hold to NTL being transfered to Level 2 Tech Support (Which I never got through to!!!) For 3 Hours tonight....Enough is enough for 1 night. I will try again tomorrow. Just wanted to try this swap over while my connection is still working. Guarenteed it will not be tomorrow.

Tnx again for the help.
