VanBuren Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 * Open Control Panel. * Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections. * Identify the icon for your cable modem connection: usually Local Area Connection. * Right-click that icon and select Properties.

cholla Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 wyantm06 : You might want to download Everest It a good free software program that identifies a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 I assume that the PRO/100 in the ethernet cards name means its capable of 100 Mbs, if so that is more than enough to handle RR. (Basic Road Runner = 5mbs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
