One thing to check

The NTL stb / cable modem requires that the MAC address of the machine or router (in this case) is registered with it. If you change from a PC connected to a router connected you either have to

1) Get the router to 'pretend' it has the same MAC address that the previously connected PC had

OR

2) Register the mac address of the router with the stb/cm

To do 2 I think you power everything down. Leave it a few mins. Power it up and try going to any webpage. You should then be 'forced' to the NTL / MAC registration process.
