I'm getting increasingly confused/worried here.
Casting my mind back, I think I know when things started to go wrong, if not
why. I have another machine connected to the router, though it's rarely
switched on. The last time I used it (about a week ago) ZA produced a
pop-up 'new network detected'. I clicked OK, named it, and thought no
more about it.

Now, looking at the ZA firewall tab, I see my home network, within the 192
range, and this new network, 82.4.93.x/255.255.255.0, which belongs to my
ISP.

I now find I can't connect to the router's online configuration utility as
the PC's IP address is now reported as 82.4.93.x, rather than the 192....

Am I somehow bypassing the router?

I wonder if it's worth trying an XP system restore in the hope that it
includes network details...
