MN500-need new software for XP, SP2?

I've been using the MN-500 just fine for a couple of years
on a machine with Win ME. I've just bought a new computer
with XP Home, Service pack 2 already installed. When I
plugged everything in to the new computer, had no problem
getting to the internet. Went to install the broadband
networking software (since there's also a wireless
connection for my wife's laptop), and during the install,
I got a message saying that there is a known conflict
between the software and XP and that I should download new
software. Can someone point me towards the correct thing
I need to download? Also, I clicked continue at that
stage of the install, and then got a message that it
couldn't program my base station, and that I needed to
reset it. Did that-still nothing. Eventually quit the
installation-now couldn't connect to the internet!
uninstalled the broadband software, rebooted the computer,
and the broadband modem-never could get back to the
internet-kept getting a message about limited or no
connectivity. DOn't know if that's related or not. Once
I plugged my old computer back in-no problems!

The old front-end software conflicts with XP SP2. Just download the latest
version here:
