here is the link below to download the driver once you downloaded it
unzip the files into a folder and manually update your usb device driver
from that folder and its all done

thanks for the link but i already tried that driver and it didnt work i think the 5101 and the 5101E have different usb drivers

Here you go, cracked my CD open especially for you

When you install the USB part just point it to wherever you extracted this Zip to, it should do the rest itself.

This includes the whole driver section of the disc

EDIT: and this disc came with the 5101e model, the same as yours

Use the ethernet port instead ?

It's much more efficient at carrying the data in the first place.

Ok, this sounds like you simply have a problem with the settings in your browser, specially if you've tried both.

to the forum.

A few things. First, the drivers are apparently contained in the link in post 2.

Second, please don't use all capitals. It is considered "shouting".
