cable modem

hey guys,
yeah its me again. i put a call into cox but they still haven't gotten back to me yet. my friend down the street has the same sevice and modem as me, and he runs it through ehternet and i run mine through usb. i want to try the ethernet way but my computer won't show the conection as even existing. any ideas? i did ask my friend but he knows nothing about computers, and says a guy (i think a tech) set it up for him. so any ideas would be great.
thanks

eric
