Please log in for more thread options In Verizon's instructions they advise to disconnect any dialup modem before installing their wireless modem. The modem I used for dialup is internal in my comp. Is it actually mandatory that I disable/remove it before installing my wireless modem? The also ask if I want to hook up to Ethernet or USB. What's the difference? My computer and my wife's will be working from a wireless modem, and we do not want file sharing. ?? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- | |||||||||||||
