Any chance for an idiots quick run through on how to do this??

If you bring up the properties for your network card, & go to the "Advanced" tab, you can enter your PS2's MAC address into the "Network Address" box.
Then, you just need to do the STB registration again, to register this MAC address with ntl:

After that, you'll be able to connect your PS2 to your STB without problem, as the MAC will now be registered.
If you use a standalone cable modem (SACM), rather than an STB, then you don't need to do any of this. Simply reboot the modem inbetween disconnecting the PC & connecting the PS2.
Or, you could get a router, & use that to share the connection with the PC & PS2. You can get them very cheaply now (e.g. Amazon.co.uk have the Linksys BEFSR41 for just over 30 quid), & they are very easy to use.
