[Gllug] ADSL Puzzle

[Geo]

Ken,
 Since your  company is using next doors service. How about waiting till after 
hours with their tech  and configure your  Zyxel P660. to work on their 
line,along with a computer from your own network.

 I had this hassle with another ISP  who swore it was my kit not theirs that 
was at fault and tried to palm me of with another router at my cost.

I followed my instinct & set up the router on another ADSL with a sample 
computer from my own network with my own leads etc and Lo & behold it all 
worked.
 The ISP equipment had gone down and they tried bluffing it instead of calling 
the exchange engineer (at their cost)
