Are you using the PC's USB ports directly or a hub? You should be using a
self-powered hub since you may need more power than what the USB ports are
providing.

My pc has 2 front usb hubs and 2 back ones I have tried all combinations, and
even reset my pc to the day I got it and lost all of my products that I
bought, this is really frustrating.

how can I get more power to the individual usb hubs.

As an alternate solution, does your PC have a built-in NIC ?
Network Interface Card. Most Broadband modems have two
connection modes, USB or Ethernet. Look on the back panel
of your PC. If you see a RJ style socket (Similar to a Phone
Jack) but larger you have the hardware you need to connect w/
Ethernet. Hopefully your ISP supplied you with a short cable in
your installation kit. You can also check for a NIC using Device
Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.
A simple PCI NIC is a very inexpensive item (~$10.00 or so).
If your PC doesn't have one, you might consider adding a NIC
and reserve your USB channels/ports for other devices.

Yes it does have an NIC but how do I connect an ethernet cable to my ADSL
unit as the ethernet cable appears to have the same connections on each end.

Check your ADSL Modem for an Ethernet port. Most all modem
& Modem/Routers come equipped with Ethernet capability. Also
you might need to read through the manual that came with the BB
modem or post it's Vendor & model # here for additional help.

I dont want to sound too silly, but is that one that plugs straight in to an
electrical socket.

Buy a powered USB hub.

I have a USB printer. It became inoperative. It was plugged into a USB
hub. I plugged it directly into the USB plug on my computer. Fixed the
problem. (the hub WAS self-powered).
