I need a bit of time to get my head round all that, but this isn't the origial modem from TPG. I havent tried to set that one up on thia Linux box because that is my only link to the real world. Are you saying I should set the gateway on my system as the IP of the modem "192.168.1.1" Thanks and any info helps
