Hi.
I have a Telewest Surfboard 5100 Modem, USB/Ethernet.
The USB Broadband connection works fine.

When I connect to the Modem via Ethernet to PC the Telewest Broadband software connection CD cannot establish a connection, it reports a DNS Error.

I have tried connection on a Desktop PC and a Laptop. No Joy.

The Local PC Ethernet card IP address configures to:
IP. 169.xx.xx.xx which is not compatable to the Telewest IP address

Do I need an Ethernet crossover lead?
