Thanx for your replies guys, but here is the thing the between the DSL router and the IDU is where the switch lies. Reason why its there....i'll need to get in touch with my ISP and ask why he put it there. Apparently he and my client had tried the 10/100Mps switch way before we had signed on the contract to provide support to my client. Baldwin you maight have a point. It could be a duplex mismatch on the IDU. I'll raise that with my ISPs techie who is coming over in about an hour. Yes i can ping my router. I'll try eliminating that switch and use my machine and if i'll register any success in connecting to the outside. The other thing i was planning is to ask my ISP for the ODU's IP that i see if i can reach it.
