Hi, had a quick look through but nobody seems to have posted this one...

Have a STB, 1 Dlink 624 Wireless router and 2 pc's running xp. 1 pc is connected via cable to the router (a), one via wireless (b). Both machines can see each other on the network. The router assigns dhcp addresses to each client and the router is set for dhcp (i.e. receive dhcp address from the stb). In network connections in the ctrl panel, I have local area and internet connection and all the settings are correct. The problem.... no internet connection. Neither pc can see the internet at all. If the nw cable from the stb is plugged directly into pc (a), the pc works fine, can browse without a problem. Have spoke to tech support and they just walked me through the general setup. They did tell me to type NTL.START in the browser but that did nothing. In the router admin/setup program, there is an option to do an ip release/renew but it can't see the STB or it's just not receiving an IP. I know for a fact the router works as I tested it in another network (yes I did reset it between networks). HELP!!!! Stuffed if I know what it is.... Anyone?
