Thanks Daniel, I did exactly that in the end. I went through firefox on the Mac side once I saw the direct connect number.
In the end the auto setup wizard didn't work out for the VoIP and iiNet kindly
gave me the numbers and details to put through manually. (They are very good
and very patient)
Once I disconnected from the ethernet cable the router seemed to have lost the
password going to iiNet. I was able to log on via firefox and set this
manually. All is good now....
Regards,
Eugene
