USB Adapter

I recently changed over from dial-up to DSL and did not have an ethernet connection on the back of my DIM 4400 tower. In checking with my provider, it was suggested that I could connect using the USB port in the front of the tower but would have to use a USB adapter. I purchased a USB 2.0 10/100 network adapter from Linksys.
Things were up and running until I got the dreaded "blue screen". The info I received was that the problem was the USB connection. I checked with my provider and everything was running fine on tgheir end. What I'm wondering is do I have the correct connection for my computer?

    You'll have to tell us exactly what that BSOD says before anyone can try to suggest a fix for the problem.

    Not much of a solution here, but it seems to be a known error:

    If you use USB keyboard or mouse, you may have to borrow a PS/2 version to do this. Disconnect the Linksys from the system. Then go into Device Manager. Expand the list under USB, right click each item, one at a time, and select uninstall. Go down the list until they're all gone. Exit Device Manager, reboot and let XP reinstall the ports. After the ports are reinstalled, and before connecting anything to USB, right click each USB root hub in Device Manager, select Properties and then Power Management tab. Uncheck box "Allow PC to turn off this device..."

    Maybe try a USB port on the back of the tower if you have one, too.

    Maybe your DSL modem software provides for USB 2.0 connectivity. Mine did. My DSL modem was a WESTELL which when hooked up to the USB on the back of the modem and loaded the USB 2.0 connectivity off the software disk it worked great. However you must have USB
    2.0 connectivity on your system. This may help.
