You mean "bind" not "bond". Bonding is when two ISP connections are brought together into
one virtual connection. An example would be the Supra Shotgun modem. Of course the ISP has
to conform to bonding as well.
Now for your problem. You want to use an Ethernet card (NIC) not USB as this is the
preferred way to connect. If the NIC "binds" to TCP/IP properly, this should be Plug 'n
Play. Not using the USB and using a normal (not crossover) Ethernet cable connected to the
modem and to the NIC, execute the following command in a command prompt window...
IPCONFIG /ALL
(or IPCONFIG /ALL > C:\IP.TXT then NOTEPAD C:\IP.TXT and copy the contents to the
clipboard)
Copy the data and post the data in your reply.
