Hi, hopefully I might have came into the right forum. Big Question here, if your NTL modem: 250 is not registered with the MAC add is it possible to just plug it in anywhere and use the internet. Reason I am asking is my mate got a NTL :250 modem from someone, and my mate moved into a flat, anyway's there was a NTL co-axial cable already installed from the previous tennant, again, anyway's he plugged his NTL modem in and hey presto! it worked, I have asked him if he is registered with NTL he said he never has. This got me confused as to how his modem is doing this.? The reason I know that it works anywhere is he moved from that flat into a house which again had the connectors, plugged it in and hey presto! it worked. How is this possible.?

Also this is not the only mate who is able to do this. There is a guy in my flats who also gets free internet, same modem box etc. These guy's have no idea really about computers or modems yet they just plug and play. Could it be that there MAC add is not registered with NTL.? please help my head goes ga ga !! lol from thinking about it, yet I come up with loads of answers in my head, but do not know if they are right or not.
