I have an Actiontec DSL modem (GT701C) that fails to connect to the Internet
under my new os Vista. Is there a driver that anyone knows about? My old broadband modem is linked to a router for an in-house wireless network and works fine, -- Ralph |

No extra drivers should be needed, just the correct username and password. Connection between the modem and the ISP should have nothing to do with the OS that client PCs use. HTH -pk |

Hi
When you use a Router, it keeps the connection alive regardless of the computer. Otherwise, find out what type of authentication (Id and PW) your ISP uses, and implement it accordingly.
