On the death of my father-in-law this week he unfortunately left me with the need to set up a house with 5 of his tenants who he set up just before his death with an Ethernet connection in their rooms via a broadband router. NTL installed the cable modem today. I have no knowledge of NTL and I was intending to use my laptop to register as I don't really want the NTL stuff from the CD on it, because I know these CD's often reconfigure settings. I see from the sticky at the head of this forum that I can register the cable modem for NTL Broadband without the CD. But do the tenants each need to use the CD on their PC's, or is it only if they want to set up an email account with NTL? Is there anything on the CD that they might need other than this? They won't need the USB drivers as they're all Ethernet. Can they selectively install a service from the CD or is it everything or nothing? Thanks for your help in advance.
