I'll give it a go. I take it all I have to do is connect USB, ipconfig /all then take the IP addresses and put them in and connect to ethernet.
Only problem is, because it is DCHP leases, surely when I turn the PC off and use it at a later date the IP address I have specified could be used by someone else.
Sorry to take up so much time on this. It has me well stumped. I am getting to the point where I have the XP disc in my hand, and I am shouting at the modem, threatening, "I'll do it, I'll wipe the hard disk, don't think I won't. Don't push me motherf****er." and I know it's sitting there going, "Go ahead punk. You don't have the b@lls".
Anyway, sorry for the vearing off on one.
Cheers

Cheers for the help

When you reboot are you allowing the modem to complete it's reboot cycle before rebooting the PC and have you made sure that any firewalls are off for now as they can interfere quite badly sometimes when you are trying to install a new connection.
Also you may find you need to re-provision the connection again as you are changing the hardware you are connecting through.
