Just got the fixed IP addresses sorted out so I thought I would post an update on how it went.

The Ã‚Â£10 1-off charge for the fixed IP Addresses is added onto the bill, so dont need to be paid over the phone, which was a relief!

I had to have the cable modem de-registered & re-registered by NTL:Telewest TS on my account again as the new ip address I was given had previously been blocked from most of the forums I visit, so I needed to call them up again to get it sorted out.

I now have a 5 block of IP fixed IP addresses I can use (dont really know how Im gonna use em all as I use a wireless router between cable modem and my machines)

So all in all, it was sucessfull and, for the first time since I had this line installed, I have a username & password, AND I have the link to goto to check on the status of my account, including setting up email accounts, domain names etc..

A huge thanks to everyone that has replied to this thread, and I hope that now if anyone has problems with blocked ports & port forwarding on business broadband that now they know how to resolve it!
