864280 2010-03-05 08:09:00 I cant get my cable modem to run through my ethernet. When I plug it in nothing happens. Works fine through the usb but I hear that ethernet is faster so I thought Id try it.... any words of advice???? ryan24 (15661)

864282 2010-03-05 09:45:00 You'll have to manually set up your IP settings for the ethernet connection to those being used by the USB when it's plugged in - it should be available under your Network Connections (or Network & Sharing Center under Vista).

Although I doubt you'll notice any difference - I'd expect either the USB or the ethernet connection will easily saturate the cable bandwidth. A useful exercise if you ever buy a router to share your cable connection with another PC, though.
