problems with ours. We've got the Virgin modem plugged into an Apple
router, on a network which runs a mix of OS X, Ubuntu, Windows and
occasionally Solaris. I don't think we had to do any configuration.<br>

Maybe Virgin have downgraded their modems...<br>

<pre wrap="">I actually just had some problems with Virgin's modem... no internet at

Despite the fact that the bloke who installed it said that he had
configured it all for me and I wouldn't need Windows.

<pre wrap="">So Virgin supply a router that can only be configured from Internet
Explorer? I think you should dump Virgin. Their email service is weak. They
are in with Phorm and they supply routers that are not Browser compatible.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Seconded. That sounds awful.
Also thanks for your definition of Linux and the reason a lot of
devices don't work with it. I found it quite insightful.
