Hi Nathan

The firmware on the nzdsl.co.nz site appears to be a generic global build.

New Zealand specific FIRMWARE for the Speed Touch range of products can be
sourced from www.dslsupport.co.nz along with a lot of other useful
information.

Regards
Antony

10.0.0.138 is the default IP for the Speedtouch Home.

What model router are you using? If it's a home, check it's got current
firmware, and you should have the option for PPTP. If not, it comes
down to whether your router supports being used like that.
