[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nigel,

I am being assigned a "Class B" public IP - 188.x.x.x
(according to this link:
http://www.ccnaprep.com/public_ip_address_range.htm)

IP addresses are quoted twice on the Vigor setup screen (I can't remember
how they're described) but they are both the same. I'll go back later &
get
some screen prints so I can refresh my memory!

With the APN, I saw some forum posts that suggested "3internet"
should be
used for data, while "three.co.uk" was for phones. I'm using
3internet.

Ping response times are between 190 and 351ms - don't know if that's good
or bad but pinging the dyndns name resolves to the "correct" IP.

Many thanks,
Tim.
