Hi, I have been stuck for month now. I bought a Speed Touch Home modem from e-bay UK. I use WinXP pro and IE, ISP tiscali.co.uk. I could never connect to the internet with this ST Home. Error message "Error to apply bridge 0/38 port unable". I begin to believe this modem is eitheincompatible with XP or my ISP. What is your thought? Do u have any experience? Please advise. Thanks.

The 0/38 message sounds like wrong VPI/VCI settings. They are usually carrier-dependant, so the modem may still be set for a foreign adsl line. This should be visible when the modem doesn't finish syncing.
Take a look at the webconfig (or telnet) on the modem. It's default IP is 10.0.0.138 (or 10.0.0.137, don't remember).
Also double check if your model is isdn/pots, and if this is correct for your line.
