Brought myself a Linksys WAG54G Gateway/Router and having got the info I need from my ISP decided to give it a go.
Basically I get " Page not available - or some such " when within Mozilla I go for the 192.168.1.1 address.
Here's what I've done to date.
Using MCC>Hardware>Hardware>Ethernetcard>RTL-8139>Run config tool>ADSL Connection ..... I'll stop there because I think something is missing at about this point. [ The dialogue's do take me through to the " Congratulation " screen, by the way. ]
The things MCC offers me are all ADSL stuff that I thought I would need to configure from within the ADSL unit itself - so when did I configure the Ethernet card itself? I remember trying to once before but MCC went on about being sure it was connected to something first?
So right now, I am unable to access the ADSL modem - I have the ADSL manual all printed out and ready to 'Rock'n'Roll' , so any suggestions on how to get there would be appreciated.
Running Mandrake 10.0 Official, Linux-2.6.3-7, - er... Shorewall is running at present?
I have tried with option addresses and without, deleted all connections and did things over - got no idea what it is I'm missing.

My Windows option is WinME and though I have it working OK, it also failed on this same point.
Missed some thing in my last reply. Go back into MCC and forget about the ADSL connection. Instead, set up your Realtek network card for DHCP. Without it, your PC won't see the router and you won't be able to connect.
