well, it was basically a problem with my PC...may be because of some virus at some point...it was giving me "Autoexec.nt" error while installing...so got the fresh "Autoexec.nt" file from the "repair" folder and everything worked just fine...though it took me quite a while to search the remedy of the solution, but everything is fine now...not everything fine though...i've having this frequent disconnection problem now...i think the USB port is giving me this problem...sometimes, the USB light will go off and sometime the ADL one...few other times, all the lights will be fine, but net won't work...the solution i have is, either disable the USB LAN connection and enable it again or restart the modem altogether, when the first one doesn't work...do someone have a permanent solution about it???on second thought, may be some upgradation work is going on, coz the first couple of days it worked perfectly fine, but today morning it gave me hell lot of a probs :angry:
