Thanks...I have just managed to sort this one out. I too got the provisioning screen but try as I might I couldn't get the computers to be recognised. It was only after I checked the IP addresses of the PCs that I realised something was up. They were all getting 172.x.x.x addresses and the DNS servers were set to a similar range. Once I realised this I used the Cisco IOS to manage the router's DNS and set it to 'discover' the DNS servers. Once it had done this they went to the the normal NTL 194.x.x.x ones (but I'll be changing that soon because they're rubbish!). So it seems that the cloning isn't necessarily the issue here. Who knows...? But I got it all working - not that I'm running a network here or anything...
