You probably need to register your MAC address before you can surf. Telus has a site specifically for this, which will allow you to connect for this very purpose. I can't remember specifically, but its something like http:\\oca - you should find it in your quick-connect package. What lites are lit on the modem? There should be a green lite showing LAN connectivity (which would indicate your NIC is fine), as well as one for ADSL connectivity. One other possibility off the top of my head is that you haven't yet been connected to the system at the Central Office. Were you given a date for the install? Lastly, some ADSL modems have a switch that allows you to use either a normal CAT 5 cable, or a crossover; make sure its set right. Since you have a router, all cables should be normal (not crossover).

I hadn't realized I had stepped out of edm.forsale newsgroup - so obviously, its highly unlikely the reference to Telus would apply. Still, any ISP will have a similar method of registering your MAC address (this is the address burned permanently into your NIC at time of manufacture, and is used to identify your PC - once you've registered it of course. Most routers can "clone" the MAC address of your NIC, so that the ISP only sees what the modem tells it - this way you can connect other PCs to your network and they should work, as the ISP still sees you as you... >What ISP?
