I'm posting because Im trying to hook up another computer to a Comcast Cable SB5120 modem. My main computer was a easy hookup through Ethernet but Im trying to run my other off a router and it wont pickup the internet...I tried installing the program to run it though USB but all i get is "Driver installed restart computer and plug in cord" but even after that it wont work....I'm getting really mad at this and i need some help :(
Any advice would be really appreciated!!.
Thanks.

Hey,
The modem is connected to a Linkysys 10/100 5 port network hub.
I have 2 ethernets coming out of ports 1 and 3.
If you want to use a hub, you'll need ICS.:

It's much easier to use a router.
