Problem we had was simple: Not power cycling the modem. We pulled it out of a Win32 machine and straight into the Linux box, effectively confusing the hell out of the modem - causing it not to *be able to* contact a DHCP server on the Optus network.
After the power cycle it worked like clockwork, first time...GREAT! Thanks for all the help, much appreciated (as usuall) Regards, Alan Vink -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
