Hi,
OK, well it seems that both the cable modem and the mac are seeing that there is, in fact, a cable plugged in.
That means it's probably not a bad cable.
The fact that you can browse, on the iMac to the 192.168.100.1 address means that the low-level connection is working. I.e., the Mac is able to communicate with the cable modem.
So, we've eliminated a physical connection problem and we know the basic TCP/IP stack is working.
So, it's definitly a problem with the process whereby the mac requests an IP address from NTL and one is assigned.
We don't yet know which end has the problem. I suspect it's a strange iteraction between the two.
One thing, you mentioned you have a new Mac. Can you click on the Apple icon in the top left of the screen and click "About this Mac".
There should be something that should exactly the version of OS X it's running. I.e. 10.4.SomeNumber.
