Strange. It *should* work perfectly. There really is no need whatsoever for the console service - it's just (IMO) a way for ntl to fleece money from people who don't realise they do not need it. Are you sure you followed the instructions exactly? Where did it fail? Is the XBox modded?

Plug XBox into a router - should work perfectly (but it must not have a cloned MAC on it)

Give XBox the PC's MAC (or the MAC of the USB-ethernet adapter if you use one), reboot STB, plug XBox into STB - should work perfectly.

I know loads of people who use ntl for XBoxLive, via STB & SACM - without using the ntl console service.
