I purchased a new CPU which is operating Windows 7. My old Netopia modem isn't being recognized and the cd for install doesn't work. Is this modem compatable with Windows 7. How do I get it to load so that I have internet connections

This is not a Windows issue the is a IP issue. You will need to see if you have an IP
Internet Protocol ) address for the connection to be successful.
You will have to do a ipconfig /all to see if you have media connection.
this is done by logging in to the router modem via a browser window ( internet Explorer
FireFox) using the IP
address 192.168.0.1 this will bring you to the router GUI (graphical user interface)
if you haven't entered a password just type "admin' the 1st field then enter no password ne
needed.
there is a release/renew button there click and this will release a new IP address for you
to connect with.
You will also need to configure your browser for the internet
