After contemplation, my reply is:
The windows system doesn't find the internet connection either.
I try to connect with Debian by default and after some 30 or 40
minutes, a couple of reboots of the modem, bring my eth0 connection up
and down a couple of times. do direct connection to the modem. If no
connection found.
Couple up the windows 10 lappy. First through the wireless non
connection, rebooting the lappy a couple of times, then the Ethernet
cable through wireless router and then finally direct to the modem.
Then, because the connection hasn't been found. I return to the Debian
lappy, knowing now it's not that system and as I work keep trying
things and after maybe an hour or often more, get onto a connection.
One day didn't get on for 2 days, but that was a NBN outage for that
period.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Charlie
