    Ive just reinstalled and formatted my pc. Tryed to connect to iolbb using ethernet connection as before, but it just wont connect, i dont know if i have to installl anything or set up anything to get it working. I ended up connecting via USB. Is there any disadvantage to using the USB connection over the Ethernet connection?
    Anyone know what i have to do to get it working via ethernet again?

    Thanks

    Had the same problem myself. My cure. Un-install modem & software. Re-boot computer. Leave modem turned off. Re-install software and when it asks you to connect modem to computer turn it on but leave usb unplugged. It should then find the modem via the ethernet.

    Thanks for that, might try it. USB seems to be working fine though!, is there any advantages to using Ethernet over USB? I have usb2.0 by the way

    I was told by eircon support that USB driver tend to get easily corrupted. In my case I need the usb for other bits n pieces.
