Hi, A friend just got aol dsl broadband (I know I tried to tell him). The modem has the normal ethernet connection but it also has a usb. Is this so you can choose which way you want to connect. He has usb and ethernet on his mobo.
As always Thanx

Yes he can choose either for his connection, ethernet being the prefered option because it won't effect USB devices like mice, keyboards, scanners and printers plus it is a faster interface compared to USB 1.
Martin Please let members know if there advice has helped any.
