The HomeHub (Speedtouch) has this feature that when you reset the settings (you keep pressed the button on the router for >15 seconds), the device enters a special state that it tries to find a firmware update. During this state, the DHCP server on the HH is not working. In some cases, the HH is locked into this state, and you cannot use it unless to perform a firmware update. This looks to me the most plausible reason for your troubles. If the HH was working properly, any computer should just connect by plugging the ethernet cable. If this is your case, then there is a special set of steps to solve the problem. Simos -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
