| 278904 | 2004-10-07 10:12:00 | I am running win98SE on a 266PII with 64MB ram. I have just installed a a D-Link ADSL modem through the USB I port. The computer will not shut down now, if I disconnect the modem USB cable or unplug the power to the modem then tell the computer to shut down it dose so. Can anyone help me correct this problem, Xtra has been no help. | cmsmith (1141) | ||

| 278907 | 2004-10-07 19:48:00 | I concur with Rob, ethernet is a much better means of connecting an DSL modem than USB especially, for win98 and a computer with your specs. If the modem does not have the ability to connect via ethernet (LAN, NIC, network card), is the it a recent purchase that you can return for another that can? Cheers Murray P |

I changed to a DSE Router which gives no problems & is only $128. If you need an Ethernet card Dick Smith has them for $16. |
