Doubt any of you would be able help but there may be a slim chance cos I know alot of you are IT people (I am, but this still confused me!). I've just received a DSLW700 modem from www.dslwarehouse.co.uk. (I'm signed up to ADSL). I've plugged it in and followed the driver instructions, however, it is asking me which protocol I need to use. I have 3 options

1 RFC2364 (Point to Point Protocol over ATM)
2 RFC2684 (RFC1483 - Multiple Protocol over ATM)
3 RFC2225 (RFC1577 - Classical IP over ATM)

???

Which one do I pick? At the mo, everytime I boot my computer I just cancel the driver installation until I'm sure I know which one I install. My ADSL ISP is Pipex.

I use Pipex ADSL and have an Alcatel Speedtouch manta ray thingy, and the diagnostic s/w for that lists my connection type as PPPoA, which looks like your first option.

I'd go for that, you are trying to establish a PPP connection at the end of the day. If it don't work, just re-install....;)
