Thats what I thought so I disabled the 1394 and then made the network. This time I got NTL BB working on both machines through the router but neither machines would talk to each other. The XP machine could see the 98 machine and itself but the couldnt access the 98 machine. The 98 machine could only see itself. Both could access the internet no worries.

Anyway I tried going back to using USB connection from the cable modem to the computer running XP and just using the router for the LAN connections and everything works fine. It just seems to be when I plug the cable modem into the router that things go flaky. Don't understand it. Even tried plugging it into different ports (which aren't the appropriate ones) and using a different cable but to no avail.

Does NTL not like routers?
