Help needed with my UK Netgear Router

[Austrial]

I have a DG834GT Super-G Wireless Modem Router with me in Australia which I brought over from the UK. It is not working in Oz:mad:

 

This is what I have tried - I have used split filter (even though there is no phone), I bought a new 4 pin RJ12 to RJ12 cable (to connect the wall socket to the ADSL port in the modem). The i led light just does not come on, only the wireless and power lights come on. After I connect the ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports to the laptop the light for the number of the LAN port comes on.

 

I tried plugging the RJ12 cable directly from the wall socket to the laptop (without using the modem) and even that did not work.

 

The building manager has connected ethernet cables on the server board unit on the wall to "activate" the socket ....(he has used a desk top ethernet switching unit and has connected the socket for incoming cable to ethernet port 1, cable from socket for bedroom to port 3 etc)

 

I would be grateful for any advice...in simple language as I am not very technical.

 

Thanks in advance.

Do you know if the line is active? if there has been no service on the line for a while it's probably not.

Thanks amibovered, the building manager says the line is active, I will try and contact the owner to find out.

if you can beg or borrow a land line phone, see if you can get a dial tone.

Thanks, I didn't think of that!! I will ask someone.
