Possibly your modem is drawing at close to (or above) the 500ma limit, and
only the lower port (which I think is closer to the motherboard) can supply
enough juice.

Works normally when I insert a thumb drive, or a
printer, which is all I previously used it for.
This is my first experience with its use for a
modem

It is not normal.
How does the upper port behave when you insert a different USB device?
cheers, George

My Huawei E160 modem is recognized only
when inserted into the lower USB
socket on my T43 running WXP SP3, not
the upper socket. Is this normal? If
so why? If not, what should I do?
