Hi there, firstly I'll introduce myself, my name's Rich, I live in Ellesmere Port, and I'm a senior tech support analyst which knowing this may give you insight as to why I'm so stressed out.
A friend of mine has just (without consulting me first) purchased a zyxel prestige 600 router (not designed for NTL, as the WAN port is an RJ11 connection, and not an RJ45). I'm pretty sure that I should however be able to simply use this as a router with the set top box (RUN NAT / DHCP etc through the router), I've just spent an hour and a half trying to get ANYTHING to happen, however I have just read about the power cycling thing (not something you'd know, unless you knew - kind of thing).
So I'll be venturing back tomorrow to retry, but does anyone know how the router should be set up off the top of their heads, eg set for routing or bridging and which sub type of said method to select, please for the love of god help me, before my head explodes!!!
(got to put my own site plug in, it'd be rude not to, we're looking for area reps for
www.midnightdrinking.co.uk if any of you enjoy the odd tipple or seven....)
Many thanks in advance
Rich
