Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my pc for the first time and have tried to connect to internet with my usb cable modem Scientific Atlanta EPC2100R2 but unfortunately my pc is unable to detect this. I tried to download drivers for Scientfic Atlanta but there is no compatible driver for WIN 7 .Also I tried with ethernet cable but my computer is unable to detect it . I'm not too great with pc's so simplyfing some thing's would make my life alot easier

You'll need a driver for the network card in your PC. What model of PC do you have?

That modem has an ethernet port, use it to connect an ethernet cable to your lan port on your computer and you won't have to mess wtih a usb connection. Your ethernet port is installed. What exactly happens when you plug in the ethernet cable?

Do you get the network icon down by the clock and does it say internet access on it? or does it have a red x on it?

Sounds like either the modem is bad or possibly the network card in your system. Can you install a new one or verify the ethernet port on the modem work? Can you borrow a computer/laptop to verify the ethernet port works on the modem?

Yes I can borrow laptop,but I'll do it tommorow because it's kind a late in my country.I think my Scientific Atlanta epc2100 modem is old.

I'll bring the results tommorow.
