    What the software does is registers your modem with your ip address/isp. So probably not. You can still try but I doubt it will really work. Maybe you can get the software online while you are at school.

    I dont think you need software for a cable modem, unless its usb, if its ethernet then it handles the connection itself and your computer just sees it as a network device and gets internet from it...but if its usb, it will need drivers.

    First time I installed XP PRO I was amazed how idiot proof it was with a cable modem and ethernet card . I didn'nt do anything at all . IE connected after install. You do have to setup your e-mail account tho. Mabey that's what the software is for. I like mozilla now tho.

    If you have registered the cable modem with your ip, you wont have to again even if you do a clean install. So if you have already used the software, you wont need it again.

    I would not install the earthlink software, It is full of shit and annoying features like AOL, the cable modem will work fine without it as long as you have the usb drivers if it is connected through usb.
    AOL 9.0 Now with top speed sarcasm that is 5x funnier than normal
    dial up sarcasm complete with AOL instant stalker.

    AOL 9.0 with top speed and AOL instant stalker...more expensive than saffron but worth it!
