Hi,

I am trying to sort something out on a friends machine.

He has an NTL 250 cable modem. On the back there is a USB slot, a cable port and one place for a network cable.

He wants to be wireless and I gave him a wireless router. For the record, he can browse the internet fine using just the NTL 250 modem.

I plugged the network cable into the NTL modem and then into the wireless router.

The following lights lit up green on the router...Power, Ethernet and WLAN.
So it's got power, the ethernet is recognised and the wireless is transmitting a signal.

However, the DSL did not come on. I cannot get the internet through the router from the modem.

Do I need to unplug the NTL modem from the PC so the PC doesn't see the modem at all and the route is Cable - Modem - Router - PC?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Stuart
