I mean to say that I want to connect Motorola SB 5101 cable modem using USB on my windows 7 operating system.

Windows 7 drivers for this modem are not present hence forget about the USB. You should check for the Ethernet port and it must be live on the modem and on the other computer systems. One more thing you can also check for the NIC on device manager. I am sure that you will get the windows 7 drivers for NIC on manufactures website. This will definitely solve the problem you are having. If there is any other issue let me know about the same.

Connecting to the network card you take it without problems. If so connect other network device to the network as you wanted, you spend a handle more but will be dealt to the touch. But call your internet provider and ask if the drivers do not have them, last losing nothing. You should also try to connect to other system, if you have another operating system other than the view, also the easiest set layers. I hope that this will solve the problem that you are facing.

Do one thing connect the modem to the internet in another computer system and got the view that nothing more you send the wire from the other pc and you will not get the perfect solution if do not have both the computer system in sight. If you have understood then it is ok, but if not then let me know and I will try to explain this thing in more detail. So instead of connecting the modem and connect it now, you plug in another computer system through USB and can configure the system according to your requirement.
