but they insisted that it would not work because i do not have a network adaptor!!!!

just a thought.....did they check with you that the network card drivers are installed..via system and device manager in the contol panel, that would explain why ethernet doesnt work
Depends who he talked to and I am not taking any bets.
Re: Cable Modem 250, works on usb but not on ethernet
we checked that. the pc works at my brothers house on his ntl home 200 via thernet connection, so wouldn't hae thought it could be a network card driver issue. Even though Ntl the first time insisted that it was.
Re: Cable Modem 250, works on usb but not on ethernet
sounds to me that the ethernet port on the modem is the fault. are you able to take the modem to your brothers house and swap them over to check if the issue is the same, ie, the ethernet light not coming on. i'm not sure if you'd be able to browse the net or get any kind of connection using the modem at another address, but the enet light would still light up.
