Hey guys I'm getting this problem also, but a lot stranger.

I power cycle both surfboard and pc.
Swap USB for CAT 5.
When the OS finishes it faffing I go to a prompt
IPCONFIG /ALL
Which shows:

IP in the 82.*.*.*
gateway as number 1 in that subnet.
and three DNS servers.

yet, I can't get a webpage or ping ANYTHING appart from myself.

So I go to Ethereal and set it sniffing and it's see's all the beautiful ARP of the internet and the occational DHCP offer or my PC going "DNS!" every so offen when something like AV trys to update.

Seriously p!553d by this point so I uninstall the AV and Zone Alarm (Windows Firewall has been disabled as a personal 'default' along with ncacn and dcom)

Still no luck! Any idea's?

Gonna reboot in linux now and see if I get any better luck.

Si

ps I've heard rummours about MAC logging at the ISP's end. Would I need to register a new NIC? if so do you know the uri?
