the ethernet card communicates with the router ok with both cables, theres no response when connecting to the modem though - thats why i was suspicious of the modem causing the problem. i managed (once) to get through to the admin page and im nearly sure thats how i did it altho it took a LOT of tinkering!

what do you mean - you mean the cconnect software that provides my connection? i toyed with this idea but the macromedia flash on the cd keeps freezing my computer (even though i can use it fine in other situations).
