Ok. I've tried to find out about the ADSL line and most peeps have said it
is non-NAT and its the ICS thats cuasing a problem. A few said it is NAT
but on looking at a very white papers for UK ADSL it appears that a Packet
forwarding system is used rather than NAT
So overally it seems as though its ICS causing the problem. If you ever
hear of a fix please let me know :o)
Thanks,
Stuart.
