My broadband provider tells me to turn off PC first before switching off the modem, But this is annoying, as I end up turning the PC off and then on just to get off the internet. My PC is Celeron (R) 2.5Ghz, and 256KB RAM. I am using WindowsXP.

If i run setup again it says it is already installed but doesnt work.When i try to uninstall it from device driver it says some file missing.Tell me how to remove and install again.

Basically, its a cheap card being put in a slot where an unused 56k dialup modem has been sitting. The pc freezes at the “compaq” screen, the very first screen at boot. i’ve tried different slots, and i even tried installing the driver from the CD first. whats the issue? ask me a question and i’ll respond ASAP if you need more specifics, thank you
the computer is an old compaq presario desktop and i think you’re right. the pc is too old and does not support USB 2.0 any workaround? can i update my bios or instal some sort of windows update??

I use 56Kbps internal modem for internet. Previously my dialup connection speed used to be 44000 or 46000bps. But now it is low and is varying all the time. now it is 21200 or 24000 or 32000 or 33333 or 36000bps only. What could be the problem? Is it with server or telephone line or my modem got weak or any other problem? Can anyone help me in this regard. Thank you.

I have cable internet and a linksys wireless router to connect my desk and family computers. The installation tech for the cable modem said I had such a good connection with the wireless system that in my small development, other wireless cards might accidentally link with my network. How do I prevent this?
