Can anyone help me get started with NTL cable Modem please.

Both last weekend and this weekend I have followed the process described by Startbe and the modem re-boot as described by Sociable on 21st Feb. I am not getting past first base! After typing ipconfig, I get the default 169 address and when I type ipconfig /release, I get "All adapters bound to DHCP do not have DHCP addresses. The addresses were automatically configured and cannot be released". I have tried this many times and have ensured that the Firewall (Kerio) is disabled and Virus (AVG) is off.

I also originally tried several times using the NTL CD (early October) but got an error message also relating to DHCP. (Note that I have used driveimage to back up the C-Drive and have returned the system to the state it was in before I used the NTL CD.)

Any ideas what could be wrong or what the best way forward is?

Any help much appreciated.
