There are at least 2 other settings that you will have to change that orcon will give you, one of the settings is vcmux and I can't remember what the other is, they should be together in the settings. I had a similar problem when I set up a new non-NZ router recently<br>

</div>Many people use it, I use OpenWRT. The trick is to set up your DSL<br>
modem in half bridge mode, or IP address forwarding mode. This means<br>
your DSL modem is a bit smarter than a media converter - it handles<br>
the PPP connection - but does not do any IP level management.<br>
<br>
How to do it depends on your DSL modem, so check the documentation for<br>
that.<br>
