NTL Broadband uses dynamic IP addresses, not static.
PPPoE is not used.
So...
The router will need to be set to "Obtain IP Automatically" (or equivalent wording). I think this is usually the default anyway on Linksys broadband routers (e.g. BEFSR41, WRT54G, etc).
Linksys routers come with very good instructions, & also a handy set-up CD with an easy to use installation "wizard".
Have a look at this thread for using a router to share a broadband connection:

If you're using a wireless router, then also have a look at this thread for very important & useful info on securing a wireless network:

That's just about wireless transmission distance...
Still useful info though
