Could someone suggest a good modem to use? I built a comp for a friend and used a cheap $12 modem from newegg, and the piece of crap already doesn't work. Does anyone have a link to one that they've used personally that connects consistenly and stuff? I apologize for the n00b question, but I know nothing about modems.
 
your friend should get the modem that hooks up to the usb. its really cool. it tells you when someone calls you and it increases the speed of the internet.
its around 50 dolllars.
 
I think that one that you posted is the one I put in that is already dead. My friend says it worked fine, then started to connect only sometimes, and now will never connect. Maybe he screwed something up.
 
The modem I posted is far from 12 dollars.

Have you re-installed drivers and checked all the IP and gateway settings? Before you replace the hardware, check and make sure he didnt screw with the software.
