Windows 7 and USB

[Heathen]

How do I get Windows 7 to work with my USB internet thing.
I am stupid so I hope you get what I am trying to ask here...

[Syuusuke]

Look for drivers for the usb-thang?

What's the USB model/name/stuff? You can most likely use Vista drivers to use on W7...not sure

[Heathen]

Its a Westell C90
I want to use the Ethernet for my Xbox and the USB for my Comp.
Thats how i I had it set up on my XP.

How would I go about finding the USB Drivers?

[Cortexian]

Usually they're on the CD that came with the USB dongle. I assume it's a wireless USB reciever/transmitter for wireless internet? Either than that you'll have to Google around for "Westell C90".

[Heathen]

Its not a wireless thing, its a little modem thing.

I have a feeling its unsupported my Windows 7 atm.

Centurytel was useless so I guess I gotta call MS.

[Cortexian]

It's a USB modem? Yea it might be unsupported, because those aren't exactly a popular choice for networking iirc.

[Heathen]

Nooo, its a modem connected through a modem.

Is that what you meant? Or do you think I mean those little wireless anywhere USB modems?

Because it has a USB and an Ethernet plug. I want to use USB on my computer and Ethernet on my xbox. Got me?


Btw, microsoft was useless in helping also...

You mean a modem connected to a router right? You don't connect modems to modems .

Let me see if I understand this:
It's a cable modem with a USB attachment as well as the typical Ethernet?

Last I checked most of those don't work with both the USB and the Ethernet at the same time (get yourself a router like a real man!). No idea where you're going to find drivers either way, just wanted to see if I understood you.

[Boo Diddly]

Lets see if we can get this straight...

Are you trying to do the one on the top-left or the bottom-right?

The one on the bottom-right would require you to bridge the connection through it to the other modem.
