Stuart I have been reading this thread and the advice given so far has maybe
been a bit misleading.
The Speedtouch you have is a broadband modem I take it not a router so the
web IP address is not helpful.
When you said you clicked the Speedtouch icon, was that in the Network and
Sharing Center found in Control Panel?
Here you click the Manage Network Connections. Here you will see your ST
icon and a right click would give you several options to view Properties or
Repair.
I find it best to take the save tick out, rewrite the password etc' and put
the tick back.
