Non-usb modem

[double-dragon]

Can anyone reccomend me a non-usb adsl modem. My current Speedtouch one is usb which means I can't network with it (or at least I dont know how to) .

Not too expensive either

Cheers

doesn't your ISP provide you with the option to exchange your USB one for a Ethernet equipped modem? I haven't used this netgear router/switch/modem/firewall myself but my friend says they are pretty good http://www.netgear.com/products/details/DG834.php

I didn't know ISP's switched you modem for you...do Wanadoo do it?

[double-dragon]

Yes it is.

By the way ctrl+alt+del rules, lol.

I don't know if Wanadoo will or not, give them a call

and yes ctrl-alt-del rules, user friendly is good too

I was up til 2:45am reading them last night, lol

Ive read my resource pack which came with my ISP setup pack and it seems I have to buy a new modem. It directs me to www.wanadoo.dslshop.co.uk

why does havin a usb modem stop you from networking. i have a usb NTL cable modem and i can network fine, al i bought was a JP45 30 metre cable, a crossover cable and a new network card

I kinda have this setup

I need a modem which has more than one RJ11 port which I don't currently have.

No, you would have the modem hooked up to a computer and that computer, as well as computer 2 hooked up to a router with a RJ-45 cable. You then set computer 2 to connect to the internet through computer 1.

Ive tried this. It really doesnt work. Either that or the network setup wizard isnt doing its job properly...

I need to be able to plug the modem into the router, which means I need an extra RJ11 port because one (the only one in the speedtouch 330) is already taken up by the cable coming from the phone line filter.

What to do ???
