Last thing I tried is I purchased an Netcomm NF4V route but I cannot
login in to configure it. Its status lights indicate ping packets reach
the router but it does not respond. It uses an IP address of
192.168,20.1, I suppose this does not work as it appears to be outside
the 256 item address range of a standard Debian setup. Although I have
been using Linux for a long time I have little experience on networking
as I have never really run a network here, hence the problems.

Step 1: Configure your computer to be on the same network address range
as your router's factory defaults.

Old way:

sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.20.2

New way:

sudo ip addr add 192.168.20.2 dev eth0:0

Hope that helps!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................ the obvious approach!

I was so frustrated after days of playing with this I could not think straight. It seems though there is few rural people running linux only with satellite NBN and I do not these days really have the patience I had in the past to grind through a configuration problem like this

Many thanks,
Lindsay
