Personally, I can not overstress the advice to go with Telstra/Saturn if
at all possible. The hassle is absolutely zero. Silch. As in, nothing.

Pick a spare NIC in any of your PCs, ifconfig it with your personal
global static IP given to you by Telstra/Saturn/Clear/Whatevertoday and
you're off. Your system config tool does this for you.

You wouldn't have had to deal with this kind of rubbish, nor setup
anything else like dhcp.

This all for the price of at most, less last time I looked, a jetstart
connection. Plus you don't aid Telecom in ripping off your ISP, and do
something positive for competition in the ISP market. (And if you
personally feel so inclined, you can, after having listened to Telecom
telling you where to go for many a year, now return the favour.)
