Umm, it's certainly possible (I think) that NTL have cycled your IP. That's why it's a good idea not to muck about with it too much.

I think that the way it should be working is that the router should be obtaining an IP address from the CM and then allocating "internal" IP addresses to each computer on the network.

To be honest, networking really isn't my thing (especially not with more than two machines invoved).

The best suggestion that I can give at the moment is to reboot the CM, router, and one machine (after disconnecting the others from the network) and to get that one machine running propelry (following the instructions in my first post should work). But let the router sort out the IP address itself (by obtaining it from the CM) and let the computer sort out its own IP address (by obtaining it from the router).

Once you have that one machine runnning ok it should be a lot easier to get the others connected.
