Re: Cool features with the 5260 and Enternet 1.5a

You are faster than me! I was busy linking to your post. For the record, you already had it posted before STLSMOASI got it in...

I read your thread about Enternet300 V1.5 went straight to link and downloaded. Read installation instructions very carefully I thought. Rebooted everything connected ok but I can't seem to come up with the dsl modem tabs. Your suppose to right click icon and click advanced. Nothing. I tried uninstalling version 1.4 then 1.5 still no dsl tabs. Is this because I'm running with a usb modem instead of with the ethernet modem? I have a 3Com Fast Etherlink 10/100 PCI 3C905C-TX installed in my PC. Would I be better off using it to connect with possibly some other software. or could I use Enternet300. I'm fairly new at all this and would appreciate any thoughts. Would I have to get a different modem? Ethernet?
I have Win 98SE
Speedstream 4060
My speed is: »/speedtests/64···e7c4;1.1
My tweak looks worse now than it did 15 min. ago:
»monitor.dslreports.com/tweak/blo···enternet
Haven't been able to line test for 2 days so many queried up.
Maybe better leaving everything way it is. Like don't mess with a good thing?
Like I said any thoughts would be appreciated.

The features are only possible with the 5260 and Enternet 1.5a.

Your USB modem will not show the advanced features, since it is not the 5260. You would need this modem to begin with.

Help us !

I contacted Ameritech to see about getting the Ethernet modem and haven't got a reply yet. I've only had 4060 about 6 months. Would my price for one through Ameritech be cheaper than say like on e-bay. Or does anyone have a suggestion of one that is comparible to the 5260. Then could I use my 3Com to connect. Or do you think I'm better off sticking with Enternet. I really haven't had all that bad of luck with it.

What's the old saying...'If things aren't broke, don't fix'.But this is a tough one...I really like the external modem! I like the ability to use a router and all the advantages it gives...Always on, add extra PCs, more stable connection,security...etc...But, the again never used a USB type modem, some have had problems, but most are pleased...I guess it's up to you...I'm sure A'tech will give you an external modem, with the right story...Then you'll need a NIC, which should come with the modem...And really the only reason to change is to set up a router...Good Luck...;)

The 4060 USB has it's own advanced info tabs on it's drivers. You ctl-alt-a to get at them from the driver icon. See Jan Janowski's excellent description in the forum FAQ or in this thread.

I already read that thread and used the information. Was just wandering about specific DSL tabs that are suppose to be in advanced info on Enternet300 icon. The index views explanation of them, but I didn't have them. Checked profile settings and saw I was using V1.5. I'm wandering if I should use V1.5 anyway even though I don't have 5260 modem. Any thoughts on that?

Not sure what other benefits go along with 1.5a but the new status tabs are only for the 526x Efficient modem. They are evidently integrating the status access into Enternet300 for their products that don't provide it otherwise (like the 4060 does).

I think as long as it's not causing any conflicts I'll just leave it installed. Hopefully ameritech will contact me about the 5260 soon and I'll get it.
