You will find that you can access the DSL-300 configuration by any browser on your Mac using the address of 192.168.0.1 providing you have un checked 'Connect by PPPoE" in Network preferences.
Also, you will find that you can connect to iiNet Broadband by again having the above un checked and then moving to the TCP/IP section and changing Configure 'Using PPP' to 'Using DHCP' as it will then make the connection automatically. If you find any of the above does not work then try it again after disconnecting the power to the modem for about 20 seconds in order to reset it and then giving it time to establish the connection again.

Thanks Shay. If we have another disconnect I shall attach the modem directly to the PC and give it a go. If that doesn't work I can use the Toshiba laptop but I shall have to find a serial cable. We are also considering buying a new combined modem-router, less junk on the desk and I am told if we ever get ADSL2 the present setup won't work. Diana
