My 9100 came with an Intel Pro100 VE integrated socket. I tried all
ways to get broadbanding via it and my Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Gateway
router without success.

I removed the CNET Pro200WL PCI fast Ethernet adapter from my old
Dimension 4300, installed it in the 9100, connected up and I'm
broadbanding with no set-up needed; it just worked!

Any thoughts? Thanks, Tom

Try it again with the CNet removed. Then go into BIOS and be sure that the
NIC/Ethernet is set to "on" or "auto" in BIOS. Exit and try it again.

Also, you don't mention if the onboard Intel NIC showed any LED activity -
it should when plugged.

It's possible your ADSL modem is keyed to the MAC address of your old
Ethernet card. Do you remember having to register your old Ethernet card
with your DSL provider? If so, you should be able to call them and get them
to update the MAC address in their database.

I'll get it is easier than that.

Disconnect the modem from power for 5 minutes. Connect it to the new
machine's lan port, power on the modem and then the PC.

This bit me before.

How about using IPCONFIG to do a Release/Renew? (run from a command
prompt under XP)

I don't think that' sthe problem. The modem likely remembers the Mac id of
the card to which it was connected. The 5 minutes should let it forget.

I agree with Tom on this one. Most modems remember the MAC address of the
LAN card or router that they've become "friendly" with and it takes them
a little time to get over the heart break ;-)
