Registered Computers
 

When Broadband is installed it requests thay you register your computer. However following registration there is some difficulty in accessing NTL Site to find out which computers are recorded under a specific account number. Anyone aware of how this difficulty can be resolved:angel:

hi and :welcome: to the site , are you not confusing this with the modem registration , i aint ever had to register a computer :confused:

Re: Registered Computers
 

Set Top Box broadband registers your computer, or more specifically, its MAC address.

Re: Registered Computers
 

that was what i was thinking , it would be the mac address not the actual pc :)

Re: Registered Computers
 

....so it's the router thats 'registered', if you are using one

Re: Registered Computers
 

Unless your router has a cloned mac address from the PC

Re: Registered Computers
 

You can register upto 5 pc's via the STB Broadband, if you reach the limit then it would ask you to delete one/some of the already registered ones. The only time you can access this page is if either a refresh hit is sent to the STB or if you are adding a new pc onto the BB service in which case you would be getting an ip address starting with 10

Interesting that you can register five, when the T&C's seem to say you should only have a max of three :erm:

Re: Registered Computers
 

3 simultaneous, using a router - if you HAVE a router, you don't register the individual PCs, and if you DON'T have a router, you can register up to 5 PCs / replacement ethernet interfaces, but only USE one.

3 PCs connected in T+Cs? How do they know if you're behind router / NAT / firewall?

Re: Registered Computers
 

Very difficult to work out... but using complicated methods involving packet inspection it would be possible to find out.

Re: Registered Computers
 

Not if you have a (decent) firewall correctly configured. ;)

Re: Registered Computers
 

true... but i am guessing that less than 0.1% of ntl's users are in this situation... ;)

Every customer I come across seems to have a Firewall that blocks them from browsing and sending emails, but lets every trojan play with their machine with gay abandon.
