It might help if you said what the errors were... (and since in the other post you said it really *is* a combo card, what drivers you found to use, etc). Hard to help otherwise. If it really is a combo card, it should work once you get the GV software, although the GV software does conflict with other PC Card extensions sometimes, so for testing you might want to be using the MacOS base set before you install the drivers. (In my experience, the conflict usually results in fail to boot). Like Bruce said, a simple explanation is that most cable companies need you to tell them the MAC address of (up to 3 sometimes) computers that they validate with their service. You can get around this by getting a router then you can hook up anything you want behind it (you have to tell them the MAC address of the router first though, or clone the address of something they already know about). So I'd call your cable co first, that's the simplest explanation, then start looking at drivers, what lights light up when you first hook up, and then post any errors here. I'm not sure what GV meant when they said that about cable modems (can you even CALL GV anymore?? I thought they were gone. Remember GV Nick, anyone?). Oh and make sure you try each of the little connectors on the GV combo card (the edge connectors on the card, not the RJ45 or RJ11 sockets on the dongle) If there are two, it could/should be that one is for modem use, one is for ethernet use- are the icons different (if present?).
