Tonka confirmed the problem which I'd been warned about by Utv, now I have to find a solution. Does anyone know anything about this? Sadly this kind of technological tweaking isn't my fieldUSB to Ethernet Adaptor (10/100 Mb)
This adapter simply plugs in to the USB port to let your PC connect to your cable or DSL modem using RJ45. It also allows you to connect to any network(s) you may have to share files and peripherals with computers that are connected to the network.
Simple to set setup so you can add sharing resources in a matter of minutes.

Most competitors to UTV seem to supply a dual Ethernet/USB DSL modem.
I'm confused now. If the modem Utv sent is in fact a dual Ethernet/USB DSL modem, do I only need to get an Ethernet card installed by someone? I have looked at sites with diagrams of an opened up OS but don't think I could trust myself to do that - too many screws!Most competitors to UTV seem to supply a dual Ethernet/USB DSL modem
sherib said:Here's a link from utv's FAQ which may explain the problem. It says you may need to log in again if your computer has been turned off and your broadband modem is powered by the USB port. If the modem I have is also a router (Idon't know) this is not relevant.

sherib said:Utv also explain why they no longer use the ZyXel modem because of Hyper-Threading issues.

Have no idea whether my system (P4) utilises that technology and wonder if they only send out the Creative Blaster modem now?
sherib said:Something of interest. Utv's technical support, who tried to help but couldn't, told me that if I used the Ethernet connection, "it" would be ten times faster. I do think connection is not very fast now compared to eircom's modem.
sherib said:Last, but not least, I'll have to psych myself up to install that Ethernet card without electrocuting myself. A touch ham-fisted! The local tech shop would charge 75 euro to install it plus VAT. The card costs 15 euro+VAT. Big deal, they'd only charge 75 euro plus VAT! All that to run a test. No way.
How do I ensure I'm static free? Very grateful - thanks again.

We have identified issues with HT and our Zyxel Router however we now ship a Creative Blaster router which overcomes this issue
