Hi Ben, Is your modem set to Bridge or PPPoE mode?
PPPoE is easier, and I assume it is here! If PPPoE, you should not have to do anything, assuming that your modem is stock Telstra configuration and has dhcp-server on. Set your PC to dhcp and let it connect and get an ip from the modem. That all you need to do. Of course you want be able to connect to it if its ip 10.0.0.138 and you seem to have your IP 192.168.0.3 (different subnet). Alternatively set your IP to 10.0.0.3 and you should be able to connect to it. But dhcp is easier and it should get routing and dns information etc automatically. Cheers Daniel.
