Extra CM problems.
 

Guys and girls,

I have an NTL 200 CM that is working fine and want to use a spare 120 in a different room. I dont have the CD for it and have tried to use the guide (provided on this forum for registering a cm without the CD) but the registration process doesnt ask me for the MAC address. Maybe this is because the account is already registered and i am clicking on reinstall? It will ask me for the username / password and then say that it is registered. How do I change the MAC address? Sorry if I am being fick. :erm:

Ta muchly.

Ah! :dunce: There is a different cable in the other room but I guess it is connected to the same place? Told you I was being fick!!

You can't use two cable modems.


If you want to share the broadband connection between more than one PC (e.g. PCs in different rooms), then, as Paul said, you should buy a router. e.g. you can get a Linksys BEFSR41 four-port router from Amazon.co.uk for just over 30 quid.
