The cable required will be the normal straight through one. (NTL supply both usb and this cat5 cable when installing SACM but i'm not sure if same applies with Set Top Box installs.)

The crossover patch cable is a special one used for connections between two PC's when running a simple two PC lan to share the Internet with ICS.

If you do not already have an ethernet cable you can buy one same place as the Ethernet card and if you describe what you are going to use it for they will make sure you get the correct cable which should only be a few ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£'s.

If you do go down this route post back as there is a process to go through to register this change on the Set Top Box so it is able to recognise the change in connection.
