If you can that should rule out a problem with the connection between PC and modem.
Have you checked that any firewalls you are running aren't getting in the way?
Have you tried using a different ethernet lead (I'm assuming that you are using the one that came with the modem)?

Thanks for the response my good fellow
OK.
I have not tried connecting to the modems console..thats the next thing I'll try (Has to wait til Friday now because I'm away working for a day)
I was indeed using the ethernet lead that came with the modem...I can't really see any reason why this might cause an issue, but I'll give another lead a try - you never know.
I do have Kerio personal firewall running, but DHCP client is allowed outbound access, so this shouldnt really be an issue either. Either way..I did try running through a reset without the firewall enabled and I still get no joy??
I also ensured windows firewall was disabled too - just incase. Just reading the other response from benzo -- Would it not be worth trying to clone the modems MAC address into the NIC's advanced properties (As benzo suggested)?
Cheers again for the warm welcome.
And I'll post back here to let you's know how I get on.
Peace
