using broadband with Ethernet

Please forgive my ignorance, but, I am currently connected to Broadband using USB connection, however, I want to change to ethernet connection, I have an NIC port with Ethernet card. Do I need to uninstall Broadband and then install it again??


thanks

Re: using broadband with Ethernet

Are you using a SACM (Stand Alone Cable Modem)?

If you are, I'm sure all you have to do is power down the modem then switch to the ethernet connection and power the modem back up again.

There is no need to reinstall anything. The only real use for the ntl CD is for the USB drivers. No need to use anything from the CD, or to re-register the account.

Yep, all you need to do for a SACM is power cycle the modem -

Re: using broadband with Ethernet

I just swapped mine straight over with no problems at all. It's faster by ethernet to.

Re: using broadband with Ethernet

REPEAT after me:
If I have access to a Ethernet adapter in my machine I will NOT use USB
If I have access to a Ethernet adapter in my machine I will NOT use USB
Etc...
