Rob,

Thanks for the reply, on the old Pace box my PC was always assigned a dynamic IP. With the new Samsung it seems to assign the same IP everytime hence the reason I choose Static of Dynamic connection type. However as you instucted I will change it back to the Synamic type.

The Pc's NIC MAC address has been cloned.

I have a feeling the cable type maybe a factor. If I plug the working cable (that usually goes from STB to PC) into the router I get no connection, I wonder if the router does not auto switch if the cable type is incorrect?

I will also set the MTU to 1500 and report back.

Thanks,

Rob.
