I have a linksys router and I'm trying to get my computers hooked up to share files and printer and that fun stuff. The problem is, my modem is connected with a USB instead of the ethernet, and when I go to switch to the ethernet it tells me I don't have the right driver installed. I can't seem to find the CD anywhere to get the driver, so is there somewhere I can download the proper driver to get this thing working?

Is that a router/modem combo?

Draw an MSPaint image of your setup.

I see the problem. I have never seen a network setup where the modem is usb. Try switching to ethernet and taking it from there.
Otherwise, you should be able to find the proper driver here: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellit ... torWrapper

I think that's what he's trying to do.

Nope, can't figure it out.
