Hi Len
With blueyonder your ip will be dynamic, so it changes regular unless
you specify you want a static one, not sure how much it cost though.
the Dhcp manages your clients automatically locally on your network.
How far have you progressed then with the router? Are things working?
Haven't had time today - 24/7 job looking after invalid wife - probably
have a go tomorrow morning. Thanks to you and everybody else for hints and
encouragement.
Cheers

Further to that. The router is now plugged in and running fine. Apart from
service network restart there was very little action required. The hostname
reverted to localhost.domain so /etc/hosts needed to be modified, and that was
that. I am impressed.
I did not bother to clone the MAC address. Using the router MAC allows for more
flexibility on the LAN side without bothering Telewest.
Thanks again for all the advice.

That's great news Len. I was surprised when I logged into my account in
selfcare on blueyonder, it said I did not have to register my network
card any more which I'm pleased about. Because I'm going to add another
to 2/3 machines to my network, however these machines will be located in
my basement simply for testing server apps. Glad everything has come
together for you in the end.
