    Please dont double post and if you want to ask a question do so in "non-text message" in future...please!

    Just get the network card installed properly with supported driver, then make sure the connection is automatically detecting settings.
    I could give you more exact data for DNS IP's but you never said which ISP you are connected to.

    Are you using Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)? I don't think USB works properly on normal Window 98. Also isn't there a special installation CD that comes alond with the ADSL modem and that you need when using USB for your broadband connection?
