Can anyone help me here please.I installed XP 64 bit,but can't get back on line.I have a motorolla SB4100 surfboard modem plugged into a network card.

I tried using a usb connection to plug in the modem,but with no luck.Do i need a specific driver ?

Thanks

What exactly happens?
USB you would need drivers for, network should work OK (unless Windows doesn't include a driver for the network card).

excuse my ignorance regarding this

When installing XP,i just usually plug my modem back into my network card & bingo,i'm back on line.

But tried installing Windows 64 & thought it would be a case of doing what i do after an XP install,plugged into card & nothing.Like i said,i tried using a usb lead from the modem,but get nothing.

back on XP for the moment,but would like to give 64 a try. how would i use my ethernet connection :confused:

Thanks for the help folks

Yes i do have the marvel yukon PCI gigabit ethernet,but i don't have a clue as to how to set this up :confused:

When i plug it into the ethernet port on my board nothing happens.

I can't find a 64 bit driver for my Netgear FA311 anywhere either

Can anyone help me here please

Thanks
