yes, i know nothing about what i need - but here it goes anyway! i have an older modem - an ETOWER 533 w/windows 98 that is not in use at the moment...currentley i am using a dell dimension 8400 with an ethernet CONNECTION...my problem is that i will be needing to hook up my old modem in place of the dell, but my old modem has no ethernet connection...

i had a cable idiot out here yesterday who literally handed over a usb cable and a DISK and said 'you have a 50/50 shot of it WORKING out for you'...what the heck is that?? i tried the cable w/disk and couldn't even get into it because for some reason my old modem didn't even have adobe installed - went to install it and came up with an error message..

so, PLEASE - i'm praying there is a simple and very cheap fix for my issue...someone mentioned getting a network card...does that seem correct? and if i do that, will i run into the same problem with the dumb adobe not installing?

many thanx to any help!See your other post for replies...
