I am finding very difficult to connect the

We have WinXP -Laptop connected to the

The WinMe computer has TP-Link 10/100M Fast Ethernet Model no:TF3200
Adapter (802.3).

I shall be very grateful for an advice as the
BThub ver 2.o cannot get connected to the
WinMe via cable.
The TP-Link adapter is seems acceptable by the WinMe

I long ran an HP Pavilion 6745C (Windows ME) on a DSL connection. Used a
router between the modem and computer.

My brother-in-law also connected a Windows ME computer to cable Internet
using a modem and router set up similar to mine.

Any ISP specific issues would be handled by the modem, and should be
transparent to the OS on the other side of the modem from the ISP.

When you say Modem and Router what it means?

The DSL modem is the device which handles the ISP connection. Mine is
external; most common in the U.S. Phone port on one side connects to a wall
jack, Ethernet port on the other side connects to any device with an
Ethernet port.

My WinMe computer has already Modem
working OK. and trying to connect the machine to BTBroadband Via BTHomeHub
Ver 2.o T9J3?
Do I need some more other device?

Internal modem? Unfortunately, that changes things, and I don't really know
what to offer next. What you are now describing sounds less like a DSL
issue, and more like a networking issue. Is this BTHomeHub an Ethernet hub?
I once connected two Windows ME computers using a hub, and a dial-up modem
in one of the computers. I was able to get Windows ME "ICS" ("Internet
Connection Sharing") to work with that configuration.
