oirdec88 Posted December 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 yea, ethernet doesnt work at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 OK, che-check it. 1. disconnect USB 2. connect ethernet 3. reset modem/gateway 4. from command prompt, type netsh winsock reset catalog and hit enter 5. exit the command prompt and restart your PC. 6. check/renew IP You can always plug the USB back in later if it don't work. But trust me, ethernet speeds will always exceed those over USB. It's in the technology. You want speed, it's ethernet you need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted December 17, 2005 CID Share Posted December 17, 2005 If that doesn't work, type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar of your web browser, and look in there. Try looking under Setup/Configuration....I'm thinking that maybe it's possible that ethernet connection is disabled Are there other ethernet ports on the gateway-majigger?

FallowEarth Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 Have you been able to use ethernet to connect your computer to another device, like a router or a different modem? If so, I would be calling your ISP and asking whats up with that gateway. You're probably due for a new one, unless something needs to be activated on their end.

oirdec88 Posted December 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 i havent tried but i think its my modem because like 3 months ago i just turned on my computer and ethernet jsut stopped working, so i called up qwest and asked what was up and they said just use USB.

FallowEarth Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you are serious about going ethernet, you should be able to tell your ISP that it's not practical for you to use USB (you don't have any free ports, you want to hook up a router, etc.), and they should be obligated to resolve that. I would just be sure before calling that you can connect via ethernet to something else, otherwise they may tell you that it is your NIC.
