Can't you assign a fixed IP..? I've never tried using a Fritz with another
modem (using ADSL over BT here) so can't really comment further on that.

I thought that was the backup default address which should work if you

Silly question, but have you asked AVM..? Sometimes the simplest option is
the best ;-)

Email Neil O'Hara at AVM support, he's usually pretty helpful -
[email]support@avm.de[/email] or there's a form on the website, but I can't seem to raise
it at the moment, although it's responding to pings, very odd...
