Yes my modem has an eithenet port, however it seems that I can use my pc network port to connect to the internet, if that makes sense.643

My network port does not seem to recognize that connection to broadband modem when I connect the ethernet cable to the modem and the port on the back of the machine.643

Note that if you are changing the connection to modem between a computer and a router, you need to do a complete reset of the network every time you make the change. To do this, shut everything off. Wait about 5 minutes. Turn on the modem first, and wait another 5 minutes. Then turn on the device that is connected directly to the modem.Steve643

Could the fact that my ISP ran the USB install on my PC after not connecting through the network connection have any bearing on the that I can not get PC connectivity through the network adapter. The USB install is overriding the broadband modem connection through my network adapter.643

Do you still have the USB cable plugged into the modem? If so, unplug it and reset the modem as I suggested in my last reply. You could also uninstall the USB software and see if that corrects the problem.Steve
