This FAQ is for most satellite and cable connections (IE Adelphia, AT&T, CableOne, Cablevision, Charter, Cogeco, Comcast, Cox, DTG, Insight, KingWood, Knowlogy, MediaOne, Millenium, Optimum, RCN, RoadRunner, Rogers, and Shaw). These instructions will also work for DSL users that do not use PPPoE (AllTel, BellSouth, Coastal Utilities, Cyberonic, Empower, MSN, Qwest, Roseville, TC3Net, Telus, and Verizon).Note: Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to the cable modem. Also, you can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

When booting up to Win XP you may get a error that reads “Unmountable Boot Volume”.
This is probably because your boot.ini file is messed up.So, what do you do about it,
panic and try to mount your boot in your computer……
No that is probably not a good idea.

You can boot to the XP cd and when you see the Welcome to setup press the letter R
You will get a dos prompt
Then type “chkdsk /p” without the quotes and hit enter
When that is done type “fixboot” and hit enter “Y” and enter at the prompt
Then type “exit” and hit enter
The system will now reboot into Windows

If for some reason that don’t work for you, you can boot to the recovery console like above and…
Type “chkdsk /r” then enter
When done type “exit” and hit enter.
This will take longer, but the system should boot back into Windows.
