Decide Which Installation Process to Use
The cable modem enables you to connect to the Internet using either your
computer's Ethernet or USB port.
Be sure to follow the installation steps for the setup you want to use. Using the
Ethernet setup enables you to use a hub to connect multiple computers to the
cable modem. To do this, you might have to obtain additional IP addresses
from your cable operator.
Using the USB port enables you to install the cable modem more quickly and
easily than connecting to the Internet using the Ethernet port, because you do
not have to install a network interface card (NIC) into your computer. The USB
port, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem.
See "Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port", or see "Installing the
Cable Modem Using the USB Port" in the following pages, for more information.
