Don't bump threads and try being patient.

So far you have waited all of 6 minutes, pushiness will get you ignored.

Have you tried updating the firmware to the latest version (2.0.10)
Are you sure you mean the internet LED? Because I don't think that that's meant to be orange. I think however, that it does flash when it is ADSL/connection training. Basically, it is trying to determine the highest speed it will be able to get to your ISP. Once it's done that it should be OK.

[andrewmitchell123]

yes the light representing the internet port is flashing orange and the port where the wire is in for the computer is in port 1 and its just green not flashing.

In which case I think it must be line training, as I explained above.
