Hi Gman,
Sorry still a bit confused. Dont I have to load the cox cable software onto
this computer first? I think I had to do that on my old computer. And also
since my old computer (that I dont use anymore) had all the router info
etc.. set up on it to get my neice's wireless going, dont I need all that
info on this one too? Although her laptop is working fine without my old
computer being hooked up at all. Like when I sign on, I have to use my
password for earthlink, etc... but to use the cox cable couldnt I use my old
user name and password that was on my old computer?
thanks,
Christine
