The modem was picking up a DHCP address from NTL (as I confirmed by connecting the computer to the modem directly and the 'net then working), but the router's connection status page looked like this:

IP Address 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask None
Default Gateway None
DHCP Server None
DNS Server None
Lease Obtained None
Lease Expires None

I clicked renew to try and get it to connect, but it wouldn't have any of it until I changed the MAC address of the router. Then, the above list looked normal.
