Re: NTL with Cable Router.
Some of the modems do theoretically have a DHCP server in them but I've never tried using them. The safest approach is to use a NAT capable ethernet router. What router make and model are you using?
WRT the MAC address cloning - that shouldn't be necessary. The modem will connect to the router then (so long as things are powered up in the right order as Paul has mentioned) the modem will learn the MAC of the router and talk to it.
