It's almost a shame that I've found this forum as it means theres a lot of people having problems with NTL broadband ......
I have a problem. I had a new install yesterday of a 600k broadband, stand alone modem. And it doesn't work. I've searched around here, and found other problems similar to mine, but not quite the same. Basically, I'm running winXP Pro, brand new network card. My PC meets all the required specs. However, when running through the install I get the same "Network Adaptor Error" that others are getting - but I know it's not the network card as that is working fine. NTL are saying they can see my modem is working (how?) and a friend of mine "who knows about these things
" says my computer is talking to the modem (he did something with 192.168.0.1 / 2 and gateways, but I'm a software guy not hardware).
I dont seem to be able to release my IP address from being 169 when it's connected to the modem.
Is there anything I can look at? NTL are saying the problem is my operating system (in other words, they've got less of an idea than I have). I am connecting through ethernet, but got the same results with USB (though interestingly it recognised a cable modem, which gives me some more ammo when I suggest that my problem is NOT particularly with me).
Any pointers would be very gratefully received from someone who is feeling a little depressed right now
