Yeah it's a bit weird, we had two blocks of five IPs allocated, the first was within our original subnet, the second one came after and they were completely different. Like you say, I was trying to use the 205.97.38.47 IP with a bogus subnet for the given gateway in Windows, which was actually resulting in a 'Connected' interface (not a hung 'Acquiring address...' one as I originally thought), just no network connectivity. I've just tried using one of the IPs in the gateway's subnet and it worked fine; wish I'd thought of trying that a day and a half ago. Thanks to all those who replied and apologies for the noise. Trent.
