Thanks for the swift response Simon. After getting the green and red interfaces on different subnets I can now ping the router and open up its web interface through the ipcop box. A huge step forward but...
Enabling DHCP on the router and setting the red interface to DHCP gives me a "connected" (time...) in the "Home AW" but I can not ping anything outside the lan. At no time has the Data light come on to indicate that traffic is travelling out or in. In the Control Panel for the router the PPPoA connection info shows absolutely nothing. When connected without going through ipcop box there was a line here showing the status of the connection - establishing/connected etc Perhaps 1/2 a nights sleep will help. Any other thoughts will be appreciated.
