I have just finished installing my new cable modem and I'm happy.
The installation went well but I'd like to know why the computer won't detect the modem when it's on the USB port but find it easily on the NIC. Mysteries of Compaq, I guess.
The software wizard was pretty good but could use a progress bar to tell me it's doing something and about how much there is to go. Rotating spanners don't do it for me in that regard.
It took three hours all told. ten minutes for the hardware, two and a half hours for the wizard (eight reboots
)
and twenty minutes or so to debug the other programs (Mirc, OE, irc etc).
Broadband rocks even if the price doesn't. I only have two arms and legs, you know.
