i have an XP computer with SP3. The pc will not recognize or talk to the
qwest dsl modem, from actiontec. The modem is new and qwest says it works
when I talk to them. The pc says that the NIC card is working fine. The card
is new and has the newest driver. The cable connecting the modem to pc is new
also. When I type in the network access number it will not connect to modem.
What could possibly be the problem? I even connected with USB connection to
no avail.

Verify that the DSL line filters are installed correctly. You may have a phone
line filter connected to the modem.
