    Hi,

    I have a Zyxel 600 series modem for my BT broadband.My Ethernet PCI card recently stopped working and I have had to resort to the USB connection to use the Internet.
    When I install the software and everything is connected to the modem,it cannot doesn't to the internet.It says that it is aquiring the address but after a minute or two a yellow triangle appears on the two little screens in the taskbar.Usually when I connect with ethernet I can at least see my ip address and a few other things when I look at the connection status but it says 0 for the ip address and all of the other things underneath it when I use the USB.Does anyone know what the problem is?
    I read somewhere that I may have to manually enter my ip address etc somewhere for it to work.If that is the case how and what do I enter?
