Silly question?
you ARE using a real ethernet port router and not a dslmodem + wifi +router?

Sitecom, various Dlink, Clarkconnect, Zyxel, netgear, linksys WRT54G3g 
(native and OpenWRT) and Patton all work for me.

A DSL router won't work.

I've had Metro since nov 2005 in Limerick.
Digiweb do about 5 different wireless tech, various DSL (only the 
bitstream is generally available), fibre and 2 way satellite.

So you need to be specific.
