Ok. thanks for the reply popper. After using your notes & trying the laptop again in the network socket, after letting the modem properly reboot, I concluded that the NIC card in the PC was borked. I had a spare card, so I uninstalled the old nic in device manager, switched the PC off, pulled the old card out, put the new card in. Switched the modem on, let it reboot. Powered up the PC, It found the NIC card, correctly identified the type & installed the drivers. There were no error messages, so I tried IE. IT WORKED!!! No more problems. I even did a shut down & startup cycle, to make sure.
Once again, many thanks to all of you who took the time to reply. It was appreciated.
