I THINK the latest modems are auto-detect. Perhaps some NTL bod could confirm. If not, at least some of the old PACE boxes required a cross-over cable, wheras most modems etc, if they are NOT auto-detect, require a straight-through cable. Are you using the same cable from the router to the modem as you previously used between the STB and router?
