Hi,

so we bought a wireless router, as students we just got a cheap cable modem but theoretically it should work, http://www.tp-link.com/products/product_des.asp?id=3

we then got the modem today, the flat black ntl virgin on es, and set it up and it's working with an ethernet port direct into the computer. but when i plug the ethernet into the wan port on the router, it doesn't work, i can connect to the router but can't gert online, tried wireless and with a wire. i remember when i had ntl at home i had to do something with the dns settings - but no idea what (that was a belkin router). can anyone help? i've tried repowering etc and it isn't that - so was wondering if any of you guys could help?

thanks

Rob
