All I can say is that I have seen this myself, and it has been an issue for the ex Ntl side of tech support for quite a while.
The easiest way to confirm this would be to take the mac address from the sticker on the bottom of the modem, and clone that accross to the nic, changing the last number up by one
IE. 00:14:a4:9c:XX:X1
and change the nic mac address to
00:14:a4:9c:XX:X2
(thats what woud have been the mac address of a usb connection).
