Tech Support seemed to think that a static IP address would be the ticket, as a while ago he helped out a cyber cafe by charging them the 1-off £10 payment for a fixed IP address, and aparently it worked, but Im not convinced myself...
Unless NTL route their fixed IPs differently (and I am pretty sure they don't), a fixed IP will make no difference.

Also, the resdential NTL 250 (which is the 255 with USB port) doesn't do NAT, or have a firewall. Not too sure if the business one does.
