Hi All,

Im a bit of a newbie at all this so please forgive me if I have used the wrong expressions...

I have a Netgear WGR614v2 Wireles Router, a Centrino based lappy and desktop PC with a Netgear Wireless PCI card.

Everything has been tickety-boo until just recently.

The wireless connection from router to lappy kept dropping, so I thought it was a router issue.

I reset the STB, powered up the router and hey-presto - nothing.

Normally I can run the Netgear setup wizard and the router will locate a dynamic DNS and assign the router DNS addresses and IP, but now the wizard will not talk to NTL. I have cold booted more times than I can count.

If I MAC Spoof, give the router the IP, DNS and MAC address of an NTL registered laptop then it works, but NTL now wont talk directly to the router.

Annoyingly, these details will soon change and I will have to configure the router manually again.

My question is :

1> How can I get NTL to see the router and assign it its own IP?

2> Is the above problem because I already have too many machines/router registered with NTL and if so how do I remove one of them?

I think this makes sense? Please help.

Thank you.
Tim
