Getting nowhere so far as a conexant usb modem un-installs the pci conexant's modem and can't install the USB modem. Any ideas ? I have in tcp/ip enterted a 192.1868.x.x number than I meant to be able to control setting from IE by typing in http://192.168.x.x but I don't get there, any ideas also ?   |

Does the wireless router connect to the net, ie. does it have a built in modem ? You may need a wireless network card rather than an internal modem. -- Please add "[newsgroup]" in the subject of any personal replies via email * old email address "btiruseless" abandoned due to worm-generated spam * --- My new email address has "ngspamtrap" & @btinternet.com in it ;-) --- |

Getting nowhere so far as a conexant usb modem un-installs the pci conexant's modem and can't install the USB modem. Any ideas ? why do you want a USB modem ? the internal modem should get an external IP address from the ISP, the ethernet card will pick up an IP address from the wireless router if it does DHCP or if you're trying to use ICS the ethernet card will be assigned 192.168.0.1 by Windows and you need the wireless router on 192.168.0.x addresses too ie set it to be a DHCP client not a server. Do you have a working broadband connection on the PCI modem ? Phil |
