    I had it online last night and this has never happened before. Ive powered off the router and swapped cables but nothing works. Any ideas. Thanks

    Edit: ive used the easy set up now and it works, but thats nat 3

    Edit : ive figured out its something to do with the pppoe settings, im using the usually eircom and broadband. Have these changed or what ?

    Eircom's router is shoite. Invest €70 for a decent one and you will get NAT2 from the off.

    Are you using one of Eircom's new Zyxel routers? There seems to be a problem getting them to work on PPPOE. I was on to them about it and they were useless.

    I've a wired connection and I used to get NAt1 with the old Netopia router.
