	After contemplation, my reply is:

What can I say?

I have no idea about networking and with the previous satellite system
and modem never had the problems I'm experiencing with this one.

Know nothing of network translation or external address.

Connecting directly to the modem with a standard Ethernet cat5 cable to
a vanilla, up to date Debian testing laptop, get the result posted.

Connecting to the same modem with the same cable to a windows 10
machine, I checked again this morning, because I could get a connection
through the modem after 54 minutes wait.

I get: IPv4 address 10.80.2.86

Which the person from my ISP was interested in.

I get: Default gateway 10.80.2.85

I don't know more than that?

I have been trying to discover what the problem is with my Satellite
internet connection. Doing this between outages by the NBN Co,
government arm, who own and run it.

It's decidedly tricky, and it's not like my Debian system is the
only one having these problems. They are also being experienced by
windows users on the same satellite system.

As an aside:

Connecting with an Ethernet cable to the wireless router I get:

Gateway 192.168.2.1
Destination 192.168.2.0

Thanks for taking the time and thinking about this problem I'm
experiencing. I will have to muddle through and just put up the long
wait to get an internet connection after turning on the modem.
