No, USB on the Toshiba won't work. Most that don't have problems with ethernet downloads have a router between the modem and their home network. Then it is easy using the router's local DHCP and DNS with the the AUTO settings on the Toshiba. Without a router -- going straight to the modem -- it is very iffy and depends on your ISP service. If it doesn't work with the Toshiba's AUTO settings (remember to power cycle the modem) it should be doable if you manually enter the exact same IP addresses used for the IP address and DNS id as what your PC uses -- having to unhook the PC and connect the Toshiba in its place. Not always an easy thing to do and not for the faint-hearted! It is easier for most to go out and get/install a router -- let's you set up wireless for your house guests anyway.
If the wireless modem is an option, I wonder if the LINKSYS WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter would work with the Toshiba? I works well with XBox 360 console but guessing here.
