never choose the USB connection mentod as the eithernet connection method causes far less problems, even if you have to get a eithernet card put into your machine (€20)
(usb depends on your machine but eithernet is more passive to a machine problems and spec)
if you have other machines in the house (dont bother try server internet share proxy rubbish) just get a dsl router and hook your eithernet adsl modem to it ,(try linksys) program your dsl routher with the ip address esat give you and let all your machines get dynamic ip address (or whatever) and of course if your machine allready has the ip address that esat gave you will have to set your main machine to dynamic aswell (will be in the instructions that come with your router)

and by the end of this you should have a problem free dsl connection to all the machines in your house
praise the lord, uncapped freedom.

problems?

what if you have problems with this kind of connection then?
you may have a problem with your filters (a telephone device may not be filtered, causes interference) this would cause you internet so just stop sending and receiving

you may have a program installed on one of the machines that causes the modem to fail (our friend init packet) for example a program called bandwidth manager causes it for us, the internet just stops working, usually comes back a while later though unless you reset the modem to hurry things along

the router may get confused once in a blue moon so reset that aswell if this occurs too (plug out/back in)

and questions please post
