Worth saying that when provisioning on an STB from behind a router you're registering the router's external MAC address, not any of the PCs. The PCs should be getting private IP addresses and the router should NAT them.

Initially the router should have a DHCP-assigned IP in the 10.x.x.x range with 172.16.x.x DNS, then after registration it should go to a normal ntl public IP (213.x, 80.x, 81.x, 82.x) with the usual DHCP-assigned DNS servers.
