I presume you have a livebox, can you get your hands on another router ?
If so connect that and see if you can keep a connection. If you keep a connection, switch over to your original router.
Going to try ang get hold of another router, pretty sure my mum's misses has a spare one lying round. Just spoke to a British person, yes a British person at VIVACITI and basicually I can migrate to them with no migration fee and go with them for the same fee as what I pay for Orange (no VOIP but ah well...) and he told me that i should try and sort out the contract with Orange and if I do not get a connection by next sunday due to the fact I haven't had a internet connection for over 2 weeks. I should be able to get out of the contract and then be able to migrate to them. So might just see what Orange customer service will say later when I ring them.
Anyways due to the fact ill be offline when trying this I will not be able to tell you if it has worked till monday (unless it works) So am gonna get hold of another router and try that out and try the settings of PPPOE etc.
Any thing else I should be aware of seen as though I wont be able to get online ?

When you have connection problems, it's always worthwhile, during a test session, plugging into the main BT linebox with absolutely nothing else plugged in (not even a phone) not even into any extension boxes. This will give you one of the "cleanest" incoming signals. If you have a BT box with a removable front section, even better to plug into test socket behind it.
Use your normal settings (PPPoA) to begin.

Well Orange rang on sunday and asked if the fault was still there which it was and well there sending me a new broadband wire to maybe fix the fault !!, sadly i dont think its the wire and its the broadband line, i tried another router and it said there is no broadband on this line !!
the results in the left hand box it will tell you if your line is ADSL activated.
Well.... got in on monday night turned the computer on and........ THE @ LIGHT WAS SOLID !!!. Oh the joys. I have internet finally !!. Well anyways it works finally but if I plug in a ethernet cable into the solt next to the red one and plug it into a bog standard computer it decides to take over the red's internet so therefore only 1 port is working correctly. Am guessing I have to re-configure the router to my liking but am to scared now incase i lose my internet again .

In theory the red and the yellow are the same. I do not think that you can re-configure them. However Orange can and are using the yellow one for the new television system.
There are reports that some yellow ports do not work. If this is the case people are plugging a 4 port switch into the red and running computers off the switch.
