No to the first one, it was bbc.co.uk. I am using a Linksys ADSL2
modem, connected to my ethernet, if that helps for the othr two.

Blank page. Status bar says 'Connecting to...' but nothing happens. I
have left it for quite a while without it timing out.

To get the Windows side working, I had to ring the Pipex help desk and
they gave me some DOS commands to run to clear out the TCP/IP things,
I think they said. This got that side of things working.

Any ideas? Might ppoeconfig be required?
