I have an ntl:200 modem (and an account with NTL), and until recently used a KCorp Gold series router. Recently I replaced this with a linksys WRT54GL, but ran into the problem that it is not assigned an IP address by the ntl modem. I initially thought this was a hardware fault in the router, but after I sent it back to the retailer and was sent another (which experiences exactly the same problem). I thought it might be the firmware, but flashing it with DD-WRTv24 has exactly the same problem. Manually running udhcpc reveals no error messages, and I have no clue as to what the problem might be. Googling gives nothing useful, and both the old KCorp router and all computers to hand (linux and windows xp, different network cards and cables) work fine. Does anyone have any clues or pointers as to what might be going wrong?
