Thanks yeah, I have tried that. And it all seem to work great then after
5mins the connections drops. I reset the modem, which corrects it but
then 5mins later the connection drops again. It seems like its something
with the router as the modem lights are flashing fine. Unless I am
specifying the wrong IP. Which it the best way to find the IP for my PC?

Cheers
