Some service provider, supplied a modem like this. It came with an installation disc, which you are going to use to connect to the modem from your USB.
For those of you who dont have router, but own the same modem shown above you can easily connect two computers in just one broadband modem and yet both accessing the internet.First computer can connect through the USB port and the other through the Ethernet.
Usually USB cable and and Ethernet cable is included with the modem given by service provider. Now connecting the next computer may need a much longer Ethernet cable,make sure to obtain the blue cable. NOT yellow or red. The blue one is a CROSSOVER cable the others will be PATCH cables. They've got the same connections on them but do entirely different jobs.Here are the list of computer tips you need to perform the task:
1. You will need two computers to hook up with one modem.
2. You'll need an ethernet cable and a USB cable.
3. You need a modem similar to the one pictured above.
4. You will need a web connection.
5. You'll need an installation CD to install through USB connection.
To be able to connect a computer to a broadband modem through USB, it is advise able to run the installation CD first, in by doing this it would guide you automatically on how you intend to connect and you select USB. It would ask a user name and password on your internet service provider, so make sure you didnt forget them.
Then connect the second computer to the same modem but now through the Ethernet,
just plug it in…It directly works straight away. If it doesn't, use the installation cd, but choose to connect with Ethernet.
Computer tips:
In case you dont have the installation CD you can ask a copy of it and they will send one to you.
Should you encounter issues regarding installation seek for a assistance through your internet service provider
