I used to connect through my ntl box many years ago.
I just want to know, is it possible to get broadband through the new virgin set top boxes at all?
If no, then fine, I will have to wait for the new modem.
If yes, how do i go about setting it up? Cross over network cable? Any software from somewhere? Particular ip address etc? I plugged it in but it could not get an IP assigned.
SO, any help very very very much appreciated
Thanks in advance all!

It would only have worked on old CWC/telewest areas. ntl old areas never had broadband via the STB. Unfortunately it only works when enabled. Your account will not have been set up for STB BB so your STB will not give you BB. The connections may well be there but are disabled.
