Martin, I had the same problem. It has to do with the network configuration,
where you show which computer is the gateway and or if you show two IP
addresses for the same computer, like 127.0.0.1 /name and 192.168.0.1/name. I
played with so many of the netconfig settings before I solved the problem that
I am not sure exactly which one did it. I need to keep a detailed log of these
things as I go. Anyway the message indicates that you probably maybe definitly
have your modem configured correctly, just need to get the routing right. I
know, not much help, but maybe pointing you in the right direction.
