Hi,
Not a glitch - that's the way it's supposed to work.
Your router (by default) has a different MAC address to your PC, so ntl think you have connected a different PC hence the 10.x.x.x IP address.
From here you would have needed to go through the registration process to register the new MAC address with ntl then rebooting the cable modem and router would have given you the more familiar 80.x.x.x IP address.
I never seemed to be able to get this to work with my netgear router though!!!
Allowing the router to spoof/clone the PC's IP address is the same as connecting the PC directly as far as ntl is concerned hence all is now working for you.
