Also I am not a ADSL guy - one thing that I did notice is that your logical IF is configured as unit "1" - normally in the few times that I have brought up ADSL I have always made my unit 0. Might try switching it to unit 0.
Yeah, I noticed. I was thinking about changing it. That was the first thing I set up, and I thought 1 would be a safer bet, because I didn't know if it was 0-based or 1-based. Anyway, it turns out that it's not the safer bet.
So that actually did quite a bit. Thanks. But I'm not there yet:

like it's using ipv6 for the DNS. Don't know what to make of it.
Could be the expected behavior, but then there is something else going on, because from my computer I can ping the IP address, but if I ping the host name I get "unknown host"

Finally, just as an fyi - under your security zone untrust, system services you show dns. This will not be used within this config anywhere. As you have system services defined in the zone for each of the specific I/F's please note that there is NO inheritance. They just get what is specified for each I/F - no real impact - just wanted to point it out.
I'm not sure of what you mean. Are you saying I should remove the dns? Could be; I put it in because I'm concerned I might reject something I shouldn't, as I said. I'll take it out.
