    Sorted this today for my bro who has same issue as most.

    DOING THIS WILL TURN OFF YOUR ROUTER

    If you using a USB/Ethernet Modem (standard off IOL and Eircom)
    You must uninstall it , reinstall it using the USB connection.
    DO NOT USE THE ISP SOFTWARE
    Let windows install the modem , if req point Windows to the CD where the drivers are again do not use the ISP software.
    Then when installed and ready to use go to
    START/ACCESSORIES/NEW CONNECTION WIZARD or START/NETWORK CONNECTIONS
    Create new connection to internet , set your settings manually , broadband with login and password, insert pass and login supplied by ISP.
    Then click OK
    When done you should now have an option in START/CONNECT TO / and whatever you named the connection is now available.

    Make sure you have a good software firewall as your modem router is now just a modem.
    THis is mainly for gamers anyone who uses the router for networking will have to rethink the method above and suit it to their setup.

    Thanks man this sorted my problems. Well, almost. I can now get past the first screen (the "Resolving Host" bit or whatever) but once I enter the IP and select Challenge, it comes up with "Waiting" for a minute or two then says "Unable to Connect"

    I've tried everything I can think of. Given PES access in my firewall, configured pinholes in this crappy Netopia. Still no luck. Any ideas?

    You still using the router , to dot he above fix you only use that little box as a modem nothing else. you will have to rely on software firewall.

    Which is why i sold my modem the day i got it and always use a PCI modem.

    Ah right. I thought I had - I installed it without using the quickstart software. Nevertheless, I'll try again. Cheers.
