Speedstream 4060 works in Windows XP Pro?

Well considering xp is not open to public yet hehe you should be asking the vvarez rooms

MS is currently distributing a lot of 120 day time limited copies of the GA (general availability) version of XP.

Anyone with a serious answer to this? I need to know my options for another modem to get up and running. Which other modems are compatible with my Ameritech service if the 4060 will not work?

Thank You.

Hi
Assuming you are on PPPOE (and not PPPOA), a Westell 36R516 or a Efficient 5260/5262 modem will work with the Ethernet adapter of your choice (including USB if you don’t have any PCI slots). If you have a PCI slot, a Efficient 3060 (about $30 on ebay) will work proving you can find an XP driver for it.

By the way, you might want to register (its free).

I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. The Westell modem does not require a device driver? I checked their website and it seemed to say that. So as long as I have a compatible NIC card with Windows XP i should be home free, correct? Just don't want to purchase the Westell if it won't do any good.

You are correct there. Just get a NIC that is compatible with XP. To my experience with XP Linksys, Kingston, and DLink work well.

FYI - The PCI ADSL modem which I use is XP compatible. No problems whatsoever. Weird thing too since Texas Instruments hasn't updated the drivers in over a year.

I just got the USB 4060 to work on mine AMD 700...I installed the modems drivers like you said...then disabled the Efficient Miniport driver or something with 1483 and mini in it...I'm not at my computer right now so I'm not sure...then used XP's built in Dial up connection to connect with WanPPPoE...That's what XP uses as built in PPPoE service connection...After that it connected automatically...I've tested Enternet 3000 v1.5, and RasPPPoE v0.96 and it doesn't work with those...but XP's built in connection works perfectly...Hope this helps

reply to ryang
Ryang what modem are you using? i thought you use the 3060? in which case the drivers would be from Efficient not TI...

(Sorry Dest this thread got packed way down on my posts page)
Nope, using the Texas Instruments modem (Not sure on the model #)

Can you be more specific on the drivers you installed Crazyburdie? Still giving me one massive migraine.

(edit) Oh wait...you were talking about the 3.3 drivers, right? *smacks forehead*

The Efficient forum had a posting on this about a month ago, and was followed up with another that included a step-by-step proceedure for successful install...

Well, I just got Windows XP Pro last night. I will be installing it around 3:30 tonight. I hope it works ok with the modem. Argh, I wish I could go install it now.. stupid classes... heh

I got my 4060 to work in XP with the installation of the new 3.3 drivers from Speedstreams site. However, I was unable to get the built-in PPPoE from XP to work, but after installing RASPPoe 96 got everything to work fine.
It is very simple to install the drivers.

1. Unplug your 4060.
2. Run the Speedstream 3.3 install program.
3. Choose which drivers to install. The program will ask you what your modem looks like.
4. It will then tell you to plug in your modem. Do it.
5. Answer YES or Continue anyway when it asks you if its OK to install the driver. (this may happen before step 3)
6. MOST IMPORTANT STEP! When auto-config is run (after install completes) you must hit CANCEL immediately when the program tries to find your DSL connection or XP will error out. For Ameritech, select 0 and 35 for the settings and it will test your connection and report it successful.

Worked like a champ for me, even though Efficient support will tell you they have no XP driver and cannot help you.

eh? i use 0 and 105 for vci/vpi but i'm on PPPoA

Someone help! I installed my modem and I have the green light. When I try to make my enternet profile after entering the user name and password I get " E0083 Profile wizard found adapters installed in your computer but did not find any with tcp stacks configured. help! Also where do I put the 0 and 35. After I cancled auto config it just said finished

YAY! I finally got my 4060 working! Only took 7 hours with no breaks.. I still can't get the Enternet software to work. I'm using XP's built in stuff.

If you got the XP PPPoE support going, you don't need Enternet. That's the way to go anyway, since it's integrated into to the OS. OK, now you have to write up what you did for the rest of us...
