Thanks for the replies everyone.  It turns out that it was a new MAC I 
was using since this is a different PC than I used to configure the 
original router - I'll try the same one as the old router as suggested 
in another post.  And it is a big silver ntl modem that we've had for 
maybe 6 - 8 ? years now.  At the moment the wireless is working as an 
access point behind the original router, but I'll have another go soon!

Cheers - Dave
