How to Connect to the Internet Through a Motorola Modem in Windows 2000
- 1). Place the cable modem somewhere near the PC, keeping in mind it also needs to be near a cable jack.
- 2). Connect the cable to the cable connector on the modem tightening it firmly, then connect the Ethernet cable to the modem and then the PC. Connect the modem to power after this. Wait for all of the connectivity lights to be solid.
- 3). Load your browser of choice and load a webpage to test for connectivity. By default Windows is set up to automatically obtain an IP address, so moments after connecting the computer to the modem, Windows should show a connection icon in the system tray.
