Hi, thanks everyone for your comments. I've had a good look around the settings of the ADSL router and haven't been able to make it work yet, but there are a lot of acronyms I'm not familiar with!

I have a Belkin Wireless Access Point (not router) that I had been using at my old place that I can get my hands on from Weds. I think that I should be able to just plug this into the output port from the VM modem. Does that sound right? (It's a little different to it's previous setup where I had a USB ADSL modem plugged into a desktop with the access point hooked up by ethernet and Windows Internet Connection Sharing- new place is laptop only so trying to avoid the need for a wired up server PC.)

If that doesn't work I might have to come back to you guys with the various different options that the ADSL router lets me change to see if any of you can point me in the right direction!

Thanks again for your help.
