My eternal computer hell......(win 2000 problem)
 

I am using a utv "ZyXEL Prestige 630 usb adsl modem" on windows 2000,my problem is it says that i have a local area connection and thats its my usb modem,heres the thing tho i don't have a lan card on the pc.I tried to delete the local area connection but delete is shaded meaning i cannot.In device manager the modem is under network adaptors.I tried reinstalling the drivers/modem but to no avail,any idea what i can do ? it worked fine under win me

lost me with the first ten words. sorry, bud...

Does it actually work though?

Sorry i'm tired as fuck

Yes it works but only for 20mins and it then disconnects saying my lan is unplugged

have you tried disabling it ?

Again i fuck up :8 yes i did and then i can't go online through the modem :(

Did you install it correctly? And you're using the right driver? Here's the setup guide in case you don't have it. You'll probably need to uninstall first, going through Add/Remove hardware or whatever you do in Win2000. Just make sure it's set up exactly in the way the manual describes.

I did what you said and still no work :(

computers are a bitch.

You installed the driver and everything? If it works but then the connection drops, it could be related to your ISP...

My sister noticed that the connection goes down when someone either makes or recieves a call on the landline

You have put the microfilters on every phone connection right?

powerbook4u.

Yes,that was the first thing i checked when she said it
