sorry for taking a while to try out your suggestions, ive been busy
(school)

firstly, the reason i am not rying to resolve this on IRC is because i
have the feeling this could take a while (ive being trying to work it
out my self for a month on and off), although id love to be proved
wrong, and also that as i have cancled dialup and only have one ethernet
port i cannot be using the router and the internet untill i get it setup
so i would have to continually disconnect and reconnect to IRC, so i
might as well send email.

right, ive managed to get in to my router, just restarted it and it
worked so now i can get into its configuration. currently i have set its
address to 192.168.0.2 rather than 192.168.1.1 so its on the same
netwrok as me.  i have attached screenshots of parts of the router's
config screens and am wondering how i should set the options to enable
me to access the modem and hence the internet.

sidetracking a it: i managed to get samba working! so now my computers
can share files etc wirelessly! (seems small, means a whole lot to me
after 2 months of nothing)

keir

ps thanks for your help so far
