Use the lan connection until you have it connected. Reset the modem(pressing the button in) power off the modem, then back on. And connect in again.

//offtopic - Strange, I've noticed one of my neighbours has a NETGEAR ssid showing, you wouldn't be in New Muirhevna

Now its just teasing me. I can get on for about 3 secs then it disconnects!! :mad:

It has something 2 do with the Gateway like in My Network Con I would have Dial Up, Gateway & Lan but once the Gateway goes I cant access the modem!

Don't rule out the possibility of the Netgear being faulty.
