RE: [OTish] NTL Broadband - Help needed please.

["J Starkie" <ukha.jstarkie@xxxxxxx>]

I share my ntl connection using Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router
BEFSR41  

I am not a pc wiz but had it up and running in 5 minutes good manual
and
easy to set up

You basicallyy set find the macc address of your connected PC and
configure the router to use the same address. (all in manual)

The best price I could find at the time was at amazon

Hi Alan,

I am also not familiar with NTL for fairly obvious reasons :-)

I was hoping that as it was ethernet presented it was a router of sorts
:-(

Will have to try and find out a bit more. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the NTL setup but would have thought the STB 
would just be a modem which would suggest that you need some sort of 
router rather than plugging it straight in to a switch.
