A "basic" cable modem would connect to a NIC, Network Interface Card. You'll want to make sure the drivers are installed. You can find that out by opening the Device Manager and look for what is listed under Network Adapters. If you don't see Network Adapters at all in the Device Manager, then you don't have the drivers loaded for it. Then you'll have to find out what kind of NIC you have, and install the drivers for it. Assuming you have the drivers installed correctly, then turn off your computer, disconnect the power to your modem for one minute. Then reconnect your modem, and wait for it to connect. Then restart your computer. Assuming this doesn't work, call your cable company's tech support, and they should walk you through resetting up your connection. -- Peace!

I have a high speed cable connection and when I reformat my PC I always have to install the LAN driver (from Intel in my case) which I keep in my back up CDRW. I have a cable modem but don't need the driver for that...never quite figured out that one. -- Peter. Toronto, Canada, XP Home SP2. Pentium 4 @ 3.0ghz, 160gb HD, 1.0gb DDR. Extreme Hi-Speed Cable.

However, if you reformat the system and reinstall the NIC drivers don't forget to provide the connection information. In my case even though it is DHCP U provide Alternate configuration for IP and gateway (signal broadcasting is turned off); SSID; channel; WEP key etc. >> Stay informed about: Basic Cable Modem

Never had to go into the technicalities like that. Once I've installed Intel Pro/100 VE Network Adapter all I have to do is go to my home page...simple. -- Peter. Toronto, Canada, XP Home SP2.
