Hi peeps.

I am at my dads house and he has a problem.

He has a NTL120 modem, connected by ethernet, to a belkin router then to the computer.

If the cable modem is plugged in and he boots the machine, the computer freezes when it gets to the desktop screen [as the little icons in the tray are loading. You can CTRL ALT DEL and log off, and it goes back to the log on screen.

If you pull the power supply from the cable modem, then log on, it runs fine, plug the power back in and let it boot, and here I am writing this.

He did have a message error coming up with the modem off "truck.exe" so I deleted the file from the startup folder, that wasn't connected to this problem though.

He has firmware version 1 in his modem.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Oh, the router is for my brother who has an xbox and uses a wireless link.

Many thanks in advance.

Matt

My brother just told me, that the xbox and computer share the same IP, so when my dad is on the computer and my brother on the xbox, they both get a really slow connection.

Is this linked to the other problem? if so how do I change one of the IP's so it knows 2 devices are connected? It's a Belkin f5d7230-4 router.
Thanks
