The STB is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with your connection.

You need to ensure that the WRT54G is configured for DHCP on it's "WAN" or "Internet" port so that it will pick up an address from NTL. Also, the cable modem has to be powered off/powered on whenever you change what it's connected to - as others have said, the cable modem is configured so it will only talk to the first MAC address it sees on it's ethernet connection.
