Now, here is my problem. The modem that I have is an old Smart model 90109 REV, that I can't find a driver for. Windows has decided that it is a WinLucent, but it doesn't let me install the TCP IP. It keeps asking for the disk that I don't have, and the connection isn't that great. It keeps dropping me, or giving me the Generic Host error, and I have to restart the computer. I'm not sure whether the problem is a sharing problem, because when I click on a link, the TV freezes until the page opens. What would be a sweet would be a diagnostic (free) that would identify exactly what the problems are. Any ideas? A new modem would be too easy; it would defeat the troubleshooting!
