Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can proceed to trying to figure out what the problem actually is?

The one time I saw this was when I was trying to setup a SME server on Ozemail ADSL (which is PPPoA) using a bridged Router. It never did work properly.

What are you using? A Modem or Bridged Router because the Modem should work straight away. If you want to stay with the bridged Router change to TPG. Easy.

I hope this helps .....
