Default HTML page saying you can't connect?

This the standard Microsoft one rather than any HTML one?

Make sure:

You haven't specified any DNS servers.

You haven't specified a proxy.

I've registered on STB broadband from a variety of machines from Win 98 to FreeBSD and it's worked every time.

If you PM me with the STB's MAC address or smart card number I can double-check it's still got broadband enabled on it. No point mucking about reinstalling XP until the basics are checked, really.
