Connecting to a DSL or Cable Modem

Belkin offers a full line of these cables, available from any major retailer or distributor of computer-related products. To achieve the best performance from your Cable or DSL modem, we recommend the following part numbers:

Crossover Ethernet Patch Cable:

A3X126-xx-YLW-M, where "xx" denotes the cable length in feet

FastCAT5e Ethernet Patch Cable:

A3L850-xx-yyy-S, where "xx" denotes the length, and "yyy" denotes the color of the cable

To connect your DSL or cable modem to the computer, make sure you have first installed both the Belkin USB 10/100 Ethernet Adapter and its drivers as detailed earlier in this manual. Once the hardware and drivers are installed, plug one end of the Ethernet Patch Cable to the connector on the USB/Ethernet Adapter, and plug the other end into the connector on the modem.

Configuring your computer

Once the computer is connected to your DSL or cable modem, you will need to configure your computer’s network settings to access the Internet using the modem.

Note: This section includes general instructions for configuring your computer to use a DSL or cable modem, which work for most DSL and cable service providers; however, some providers have special requirements or non-standard configurations. If your DSL or cable provider has provided instructions which differ from this, please follow those instructions. If the procedure below does not work for you, please contact your DSL or cable provider for instructions on configuring your computer to use the modem.
