There may be a simpler answer, depending on whether your existing router is locked down to TalkTalk or not. If it isn't, once your BT service goes live you just need to log in to your existing router and change the broadband username/password to something along the lines of firstname.lastname@btbroadband.com for the username, and Any0ldRubb1sh for the password. No other configuration changes should be necessary, unless any of the settings that follow are different... VPI - 0 VCI - 38 Encapsulation - PPPoA (PPP over ATM) Multiplexing - VC-Mux or VC Based Assuming this works, your existing network settings will do just fine, TYVM. Only gotcha is that if you need tech support, they will probably ask you to connect up the BT Home Hub, so don't flog it on any well-known auction sites... -- Brian Howlett - email to From: address deleted unseen ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not telling you who I work for - in any case, there's no way anything posted (or mailed!) by me can be attributed to them....
