Thank you for your reply. Are you waiting to plug in the USB until the installation says to? Try this software and let me know if it helps you:
I had to do this yesterday during a failed USB installation - if you are on a Windows computer, click start button and right click Computer or My Computer and select Manage Device. Then go to the Device Manager and check under USB devices to see if it is there. Then you can update the driver that way as well.
I hope that helps. Keep me posted. I am at work and may not be able to respond right away but I will do my best. Good luck!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Have you tried another Ethernet cord? It sounds like a bad connection or bad cord.
