I'm posting because Im trying to hook up another computer to a Comcast Cable SB5120 modem. My main computer was a easy hookup through Ethernet but Im trying to run my other off a router and it wont pickup the internet...I tried installing the program to run it though USB but all i get is "Driver installed restart computer and plug in cord" but even after that it wont work....I'm getting really mad at this and i need some help :(
Any advice would be really appreciated!!.
Thanks.
Tell us more about the hardware setup.
In general:
Connect the modem to the WAN or internet port on the router (What router?)
Connect the router ports (Via ethernet) to the computers in question.
Hey,
The modem is connected to a Linkysys 10/100 5 port network hub.
I have 2 ethernets coming out of ports 1 and 3.
If you want to use a hub, you'll need ICS.:

It's much easier to use a router.
