          Hmm, that is strange. The webgui uses javascript for the menus, they should appear beneath the titles when you mouse-over them, perhaps you have that disabled in your browser?

          I am familiar with TalkTalk. I've spent hours on hold waiting for their legendarily terribly customer support!  ::) Perhaps I was just unlucky.
          I take it you have their fibre option if you're using PPPoE? With the separate Openreach modem?

              :D Perhaps I wasn't just unlucky then.

              So your Virgin connection is PPPoE?

              It doesn't matter at this point really. Just thinking ahead.

                i think so yes  however  im only  focusing on  getting the talktalk  on  the fbox at the moment 
                ive checked the javascript  and  made sure it was  enabled in  i.explorer    and it is on  so im lost at this point

                  Try Firefox or Chrome.

                  If you can click on System you can go to General Setup and change the theme. If you choose the theme 'pfsense' it has fixed menus down the side.

                                Most reliable way? This, which I just put up yesterday: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,7920.msg344513.html#msg344513
                                Working great for me but I've had no feedback yet.

                                    If you're looking for the command line it's option 8.
