Home / Other I-Appliances / 3Com Audrey USB Direct to Cable Modem Connecting my audrey via usb to a cable modem

USB Direct to Cable Modem (modified 0 times) jzack Profile I've been reading the many posts about folks using an USB to ethernet adapter to connect Audreys to either Home Lans or cable modems using RJ45 type plugs. My cable modem has a USB connector and I've tried to get it to talk to the audrey that way. It looks like from many of the posts that unless the cable modem has a special 3com type hardware built-in this isn't going to work. This approach does require DHCP settings -- so this is probably the other problem, since I haven't been able to get it going. I'm ready to buy the adapter -- my modem also has an RJ45 plug. Just wanted to be sure I've got the issue straight -- I'm new to this audrey sutff. Thanks! 02-02-2002 23:40:02

RE:USB Direct to Cable Modem (modified 0 times) dilligaf Profile The problem with trying to connect the modem directly to Audrey's USB port is that she doesn't have a drive for the modem you have. If your modem will connect to a network card, then you can use the adapter to get her going on broadband. If you have other computers besides Audrey, then you can get a broadband router/network switch and hook 'em all up to broadband. dill 02-03-2002 01:28:32

RE:USB Direct to Cable Modem (modified 0 times) jzack Profile Thanks - Dill, Wasn't thinking about USB driver issue, that of course makes total sense -- I'm gonna order the USB/ethernet adapter in the next day or two. Working via my Home LAN is way to go. jd 02-03-2002 10:04:12
