It is a 3G Mobile Broadband Router?

Is this of any help?

did you also set DHCP instead of Static?

Yes, DHCP jobeard.

OK, now I am stuck. With the router setup as

1. router mode
2. DHCP configured

I'm left with only two comments
a) it is NOT your system (ie the dongle ->system connection works)
b) and the typical settings do not work

Sheez I hate to mention it, BUT ... call the Router Support People to get their
recommendations for the 3G Dongle implementation,
and then the ISP itself.

Primarily LINUX config stuff - - O.P. is on windows

Thanks jobeard. Very much appreciate all your time & effort. Sincerely mean that!

Sapido have said they will log on remotely so will see how that goes.

Thanks to everyone else too for you help & comments!

Does the modem get an IP? I believe no. So it is the same with DSL modem it doest get any ip. It is the WAN interface of the router that receives IP addresses (without user interaction)

It is the WAN interface of the router that receives IP addresses. And the user dont need to configure any settings, only connect the router and modem. The same with DSL.

Thanks but I know enough about ppp. What im really curious is, is about "ONLY DSL uses dial-out.", I dont understand this dial-out/in.

Btw the mac of the PPP adapter 1.3G (usb dongle) is what the ISP is probably checking for (if it is checking for mac).

Tried changing this, but made no difference, so ISP is probably not looking for it. The IP of the dongle when connected directly to the system (PC) changes so it is using Dynamic IP addressing. Also, it always has DHCP enabled = No. Not sure whether that is relevant or not??

Your 3G usb dongle is like a cellphone, it calls (in a sense) your isp to establish internet connectivity. Your ISP probably uses your sim card number to identify you from the rest of the callers. The app that came with your usb dongle has pre-configured settings, these settings are required for you to successfully connect to your isp, my guess....
