Mercury ADSL router

[Flybywyre]

I have purchased a Mercury ADSL router ART18CX that I am trying to configure to use with my 2 computers, using a Freeserve Broadband connection. The problem is the lack of any technical support, it all has to be configured manually without the aide of any useful information on what settings to choose, here is an example

Does anyone out there know anything about configuring this router or can someone point me in the right direction for tech advice.

Thanks in anticipation

If you send me your e-mail addy (PM me or mail me) I will send you the manual (PDF) for the Alcatel 510 router.

You might be able to find the info you require from that. I know that it is a different make/model of router but the setsup for what you are after should be the either the same or similar.

Check your mail in about 5 minutes. Am sending it just now.

As I said in my mail I plumped for the Alcatel as there is a good manual with it. Also it is my ISP that is selling it and I will have limited tech support from them with it.
