Thanks to all for the advice etc. I have dug up my old EtherNet NetComm NB1300 Plus 4 and connected to that. I was hoping that I could have them both connected to the internet at the same time (with the computers AirPort turned off) to see what happened but the Thompson would not connect at all. So I guess that its either dead or you can only have one connected at a time to the same ISP and I am too peed off to do any further fault finding. So fat the old NetComm has not faulted.
