Hi Chris - thanks for replying

The cable is definitely a straight ethernet cable. I have switched off everything and disconnected the power from the modem, disconnected the usb cable, connected the modem direct to the PC with the ethernet cable (light on the ethernet socket on back of PC), then booted the modem first, waiting for the lights to settle down, then switched on the PC. No access to the net.

Plugged the usb cable back in, access to net.

Help - beginning to pull clumps of hair out!
