Thanks to all, I was back on site yesterday. The FC6 box had not been shutdown since last week but the router had been off. Turned it on and it connected straight away. I ran neat to find that router address had been added to both primary and secondary DNS and "BigPond" had been added to DNS Search Path. I removed the DSL devices that I and adsl-setup created, restarted the network and still all is well. All is working fine! Many thanks Simon Slater
