Alan, although the following URL doesen't mention your ADSL Modem have a look through section 5 and the various ADSL Modems. There are various settings that you modem may also have and might help. We've got a few clients using TPG ADSL with various modems - frequently because their help desk staff palm off all Linux calls to us (but they don't tell the customers they're going to have to pay us).

(eg dual boot), if not perhaps it needs to be turned off so that it will talk to a different MAC address. Your linux setup should be a plain old DHCP ethernet, nothing special.
