Hello,

I have a wireless network happily running in the UK and thought my Mum might benefit from a similar system running here in NZ (they have a few laptops in the house).  She is connected currently to TelstraClear using their standard modem.

A friend had a spare wireless modem router - a Belkin F5D7630-4A router http://www.thinkbroadband.com/hardware/reviews/2004/q4/belkin-f5d7630-4a.html which I have brought to NZ with me.  I tried it while in the UK on my connection and it was simple to configure and connected immediately (TalkTalk Broadband).

I figured with my Mums username and password, it would be a simple connection.  I connected with an ethernet cable and changed the details - leaving the connection type as PPPoA and just changing the login details - no connection...

The wireless LAN side is working fine and the laptops can logon to the wireless network, but they cannot access the internet as the 'connected' prompt is not being given in the modems HTML based config screen.

Any ideas why this would not be connecting?  Is there anything 'different' between the ADSL connection in the UK and that TelstraClear provides that I would need to change a setting for? 

I don't want to waste too much time chasing this problem, I'm only visting for a few weeks and don't want to spend hours behind the computer!!  Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Danny
