Eberhard -

Stephen said that he cannot connect through his router, but only directly 
through his DSL modem.  If this is correct, and if the term DSL modem means 
the same thing his side of the pond as it does here (by no means a forgone 
conclusion), his laptop must be connecting directly with his ISP, probably 
with a dynamic IP, and it is not going to tell us anything about his network.
