Perhaps a bit late, but for Ben: You need to unplug the power on the modem for about 10 seconds to make it work with a new computer unless you’re using a router

Hello-

I have the same question as #2 & 3, where can I find the answer?
evelyn what you should do is unplug the modem from the wall wait 30 seconds then plug it back in. that should help with your problem and if it does call you local internet provider.
I mean if it dosent help.
Im a Canadian user whose ISP issues these modems out with the service. I went ahead and bought a modem off ebay so I wouldnt have to keep renting it from my ISP but the American made modem won’t work on my PC with my ISP. Any ideas? Is it possible there is a lock of some type that prevents this modem from being used outside of the USA?

Hello, i have an issue with this model, it seems that when i turn on the modem this loads the lights normaly, but after 3 flashes of the ‘PC\ACTIVITY’ light, only the Power light is on and the RECIVE and SEND lights start flashing both at same time, i dont recive any kind of signal from the router, i had it off for 4 days thinking may be overheating, do you know a solution or any kind of help that may solve my issue?
Hi, I have a question about this SB5100. Can I connect 2 computer to internet at the same time using both of the connection (USB & ethernet)? I tried before but only 1 computer that can connect to the internet. The manual said that I can do it, does it need any other settings?
For you Hans Malik, maybe it means you to have a router in order to conect more than 1 pc with the modem, i try as well but everyone told me that it can only hold 1 IP so i had to buy a router for more computers in a network, i assume you have to buy one.
