SpeedTouch ADSL Modem, 330

NashTax · 6 Feb 2007 at 16:25

Hi.

Just installed windows vista on my desktop. I installed the original drivers for the modem, and the installation was OK. Now when I try and connect to the internet it does not recognise my username and password, just tried this on my laptop and it works (posting from laptop at the momment).

Any ideas?

Been trying all day to get this working (Since 1 PM).

I found some Vista drivers on the net and tried to install them but no luck.

When I dissconnect the modem from the back of my computer then plug it back in again it does all the 'Found new Hardware' stuff. Then it asks me to insert the CD so I did. (Tried both) It says it has been sucsesfull (some times), then when I closed the windows it then asks for it again, I click close and it says was not able ect.

Any ideas?

Any other ideas anyone?

nope, just wait a litte and see if there are better drivers or do the better thing and get your self a cheap ADSL modem/router. You get better ping then USB and better connection if your on 8mb line

If I get a new modem, how would it connect to my computer if not going through a USB?

Just notised this. It seems to be installing 'SpeedTouch 330 ADSL Modem' fine as the status is 'Ready to use'.

But the 'SpeedTouch Networking Support' never installs - and the status for this is 'Failed'. So the only thing what
is not wortking is SpeedTouch Networking Support.
Any ideas?

it will connect via ethernet RJ45 if your motherboard does not have a Network card then you can get one for under £10 maybe £5 and install it

Have you tried downloading the xp one from Speedtouch.com site,it`s a web upgrade one for up to 8mb speed,it`s a 4meg d/L
I downloaded this one because the disc that came with the modem,Vista didn`t like it.
