To connect to the Internet now, you need BPA Login (get it from http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/)
install it and start it up.
Press config and put in your username, password and under local port put 5050 and under default domain put sa.bigpond.net.au
press OK. and press connect.
Should look like this but with your user and password in.

--
if it does not connect restart your computer and try again.

If it still does not connect do this.
Start MS-DOS and type ipconfig and press enter.
If it looks something like this it should all b working and you can connect.

If you don't have these. Unplug all computers, turn router off. Plug in the computer you want to use to connect with and turn router on. Wait for about 5 mins while things talk. Do ipconfig again the router should give you this information and it should work.
