I have got it working by giving monowall a static WAN IP of 192.168.1.2 with
it's gateway being the modem at 192.168.1.1, however I would love to bind
the external IP of 81.23.45.67 to the WAN of monowall.
The modem has very little in terms of configuring the WAN. 
What confuses me is the way that a Windows PC has no difficulty accepting
the WAN IP to the NIC.

Thanks again

Paul

Right, but what is it?  If it is on a different subnet, you'll have to
use a different command to enter a default route through an interface,
rather than using an IP.

So it sounds like m0n0wall is trying to use the external IP of the
modem as its default gateway, which appears to not be within the same
subnet as the WAN IP assigned to m0n0wall itself.  Could you just set
up the modem to bridge only?  I don't know anything about PPPoA, but
with PPPoE that's generally the preferred behavior.  There are several
people in the UK on this list who have quite a bit of experience with
PPPoA, maybe one of them will have a better answer.
