IT was both PC and lap that would not connect to net or the router set up page. I was re-setting the router by pressing the reset button for 5+ seconds and setting modem first etc., the IP for the LAN is also correct.

It does seem to be the PC or the combination of the PC & the NTL router that is the problem. I disconnected the router from the modem and the PC and found the laptop would "talk" wirelessly to the router. Just in case of conflicts I changed the the routers IP address but as soon as I cabled up again I could no longer reach the router set up page.

Not sure if it makes sense but it would seem possible the PC is not releasing the router after a failed contact attempt.
