Well, thanks for the help, but alas to no avail. Just couldn't work out what was wrong. Also noticed that when I had his modem just plugged into my phone socket that it was affecting my phone line - sounded like an echo on it.

I just told him to get a new modem and it's working great. For the sake of a £9 modem it just wasn't worth wasting any more time on it.

Was that a PC World bargain bucket jobby?

No, Intel. The young fella who owns the computer and his dad got it in a little shop in Downpatrick (Co. Down). I thought it was very cheap. But hey, it did the job. Result.
