6881, 6882, 6699, 55555 ... you name it, I tried it and each time configured the cable modem router (connection via ethernet) and the windows firewall. I've done this same thing so many times for other people, and it's never failed. What am I missing with the NTL config here?
I don't have NTL myself, so don't go asking me anything to specific about the router, but it's a four port job with lots of lights...
And I also tried the "application ports" setting too - same thing. No other firewall is installed

ntl block some ports but certainly not those. Try running the p2p program without the firewall running, then try it with a direct cable modem connection, see if it goes anywhere.
These are the ports that ntl block.
