what is DHCP ?.
my MacBookPro didnt appear to see the NTL Modem using the chaps cable. but then i couldn't find out how to switch off wireless, it looked as if it was giving wireless connections priority cable connections.
PS. it looks as if a call to NTL is on the cards, they should THEN be able to check that the signal is getting through to his Modem I HOPE ?

I always forget about restarting the modem
DHCP is a system for a computer that has connected to a network to get an ip address but chances are if you don't know what it is it will be on.
