4. Turn router on wait until lights stabilise, the wan light should blink occasionally as network traffic on the ntl network talks to it.
5. Turn the PCs on.

Open explorer and it should bring up your home page.
No wireless security to configure, easy. Unless you are connected through a STB you do not need to clone the mac address.

Do you want to share files / printers etc between the two PC or just have both access the internet?
In answer to your question, I'd like to share files / printers etc as well as sharing the b/band connection. You've referred to a "STB", I don't think I understand what this means, could you elaborate ?

Thanks

Dom
