-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Murray, Firstly, go to the System menu then Administration. - From the Administration menu select network. This brings up a dialog with both your ethernet card and modem. select the wired connection (this is eth0 usually) and click properties. Automatic configuration(DHCP) should be showing and no other entries. Next click OK and select the DNS tab. In here put the DNS of your D-Link router (ADSL modem). Click close and open Firefox. It may respond a little slowly, but it should work fine.
