I need a step by step beginners guide for how to set up my PC and ADSL Modem for my new ADSL Service that I have just had activated?

Thank you :)

Here is some additional information to my set up details:

I have signed up with Mac-1 (entanet) ISP

I have a Conexant Accessrunner Ethernet/USB ADSL Modem/Router which I was told by the company that I bought it from would work with Apple Mac and PC and with Wireless ADSL. The modem comes with a driver disk (but only for PC). It says that the modem is a web software controlled device.

I have a RJ45 Crossover Cable, a USB Cable, a RJ11 Phone cable and a PC driver CD for USB interface

What configuration details I need to set up my ADSL Modem and Computers to work with my new ADSL connection which have just been installed for me this week?

I have a Apple iMac computer and a PC Computer (which I hopefully want to eventually network together so they can both surf the net together using the router modem)

Any ideas?

Thank you

Rob

I haven't installed the USB driver disk because it doesn't have Mac Drivers on the disk (just PC Drivers)
The company who sold me the Modem says it will work with Macs

As the modem is a Router as well, the company told me to connect to my Mac via the Ethernet (router) connection on my Mac which I have done and that seems to be working fine

I think the problem may lie in what information I need to put into my Modem and PC so that it will connect to my ISPs ADSL Service

Do you know what information I will need from the ISP so that I can configure the Mac and Modem?

Thank you
