Thanks Tricky & Zovat
Lost my USB Adapter connection too! Just spent 3 hours trying to find out what I did wrong.
Well .... with the help of "winipcfg" and typing
www.google.com in address bar from someone (I printed off a 3 page post from here last year about registering a BB connection without the ntl CD), after several attempts, I ended up re-registering a 'new computer' with ntl, re-boot STB (3 times) re-boot PC (lost count how many times), now the Ethernet card is working : )
Windows 98
Thanks again tho'.
