YES that is true.

it does not work on the ADSL modem at all.

but it dose not

But it will. What you are describing, I think, is that your computer
is not connecting (networking) with your ADSL modem. When it does,
Internet (including Email) will 'just work' without changing anything
else.<br>

Ethernet (CAT5 / blue network cable)
<br>

Great. This should be easier that USB would have been.<br>

Well, I am online too for about another 20 minutes. I will need the
help of some other PLUG people to do this though as Debian Sarge is not
<i>that</i> familiar to me and I have no Linux based PCs here at the
moment to work through it.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">I am waiting for some answers from David to
try to work out exactly what is an isn't working and therefore what
needs to be fixed, but I have my suspicions...
<br>
<br>
Therefore: <br>
<blockquote type="cite">TO THE REST OF THE PLUG LIST: Supposing
that a modem is working and connected and attached to you Debian Sarge
based PC via Ethernet, what would be the steps (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) that
you would do in an X Windows session to tell your computer to use
192.168.1.1 as the Default Gateway with transparent proxy and DNS from
the modem and to ignore your dial-up connection and use the Ethernet
instead.
<br>
</blockquote>
Can some people who are more familiar with this OS than I am please
post some really simple steps to help make the changes required.
<br>
</blockquote>

This is the bit that I will still need help with from the rest of the
PLUG list... anyone?<br>
