6100 Westell WireSpeed Dual Connect Modem Drivers

[flowertop]

I cannot get the drivers to install for my 6100 Westell WireSpeed Dual Connect Modem, for USB. I know that Ethernet is better, but I have the Ethernet hooked up to my laptop and need USB for my desktop. I am using XP on my laptop and ME on the desktop. I do have one problem that may be preventing me, but I am not sure. In my device manager there in a yellow exclamation mark on VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller. There are also 4 of these listed in the device manager, but only one of them has the yellow exclamation mark. I have tried everything under the sun to fix this, but nothing has worked so far. I am hoping that someone there may be able to help me, so that my boyfriend can have his laptop back and I can get back on my desktop. Thanx

I can't believe that there is no one out there that has responded to this issue, right or wrong. A very sad, sad, situation> =(

Most modems will not allow you to use usb and Ethernet at the same time. That is why you can not get the usb to work. You need a broadband router to connect both to one modem.

if any one reads this, the reply made by Terrister is incorrect. I was running two computers on the same modem, however when i reinstalled windows on the usb computer the driver didn't automatically install.

Well, the Westell 6100 is a router, and I've personally had USB and Ethernet connected to one, so I do know that works. If you want two of them on Ethernet, a simple Ethernet switch will allow you to connect multiple computers to that unit.
