No I think you better:

Registration within the Broadband Installer CD-ROM

Normally, the registration for ntlworld ISP services is performed within the Broadband Installation procedure on the CD-ROM. The registration procedure starts with quoting a serial number:

for stand-alone cable modem users, the serial number is ntl-ct8-cj486.
for digital TV set top box users, the serial number is ntl-ct8-cb487.

You are then prompted for the other data from your Welcome letter. If at this stage, the registration fails to complete (e.g. because of failures within the network or registration servers), you need to return later to complete the registration manually, as below. In the meantime, you will not be able to access any part of the internet apart from the registration server URL given below. If it is inaccessible, keep trying until it is working.

Manual Auto-Registration procedure

In order to complete the registration of your cable modem or set top box, and to register for ntlworld username and ISP services, make sure that your PC is using your cable modem connection (not dial-up), then launch your web browser, which must have JavaScript enabled. If your web-browser hangs or gives an error page when launched, this might be because it is trying to connect to a home page which is disallowed until you have completed this registration: just click Stop. Send your web browser to https://autoreg.autoregister.net/start.html (note the https rather than http) and follow the on-screen instructions. When asked for a Serial Number:

for stand-alone cable modem users, the serial number is ntl-ct8-cb485.
for digital TV set top box users, the serial number is ntl-ct8-cb487.

There will be a long pause while the registration system verifies the identity of your cable modem: if this never finishes, this might be because your browser does not have JavaScript enabled. You are then asked for other data from your Welcome letter (be sure to maintain the correct upper-case and lower-case distinction). Then follow the on-screen instructions.

After successful online registration, it is then necessary to power the cable modem off and on again (do not mistake the SB4100 front standby button for a power button) to load the proper configuration file and obtain the intended class of service, and then re-boot your PC. You will know when you get a final configuration when your PC gets given an IP address outside the temporary ranges. Surfboard users can check the class of service they have obtained by viewing the cable modem log after the re-boot.
