[H-GEN] Optus at Home problems

I have a friend with computer running cable with Optus at Home.

The computer runs fine when he is not connected to the Optus cable. However, once he plugs in the connection (seems to be a USB connection...not through an ethernet card) his machine starts to hang - he might get 15 minutes of operation or maybe an hour but it hangs regularly.

Also, he was able to get mp3,s easily using Napster but when he tries various ftp clients he always gets a report that the remote host was unable to be found. Does Optus disable ftp ports?


Anybody give any indications of what might be happening?
