Hi. I've done a search to no avail so here goes.

What is the difference between setting up BB on STB as opposed to CM as per the sticky?

I've got NTL on CM. My friend has just had it installed through STB. He has an ethernet card and cable. He can't get it to work.

My thoughts:

1. Do STBs even have MAC addresses?
2. Is it possible the ethernet cable needs to be crossover but the engineer hasn't left crossover?

Thanks in advance.
