Hi,

I am having somewhat of a nightmare with a friends NTL broadband setup. He uses a standard NTL:home 200 CM and when connected via ethernet cable - no issues.

He has just bought a Netgear MR314 wireless router which he wanted connecting up. So I connect the router to the modem, and a wireless Netgear PCMCIA card to his laptop. Wireless works fine and can get to the Netgear config HTML pages. On the router I have a link light, and transfer lights for the WAN connection but no internet. When I go into the configuration of the router, no IP address is assigned to the router from the modem.

I have called NTL and confirmed his user/password details and entered these into the router ISP details (PPPoE).

This seems to be an autentication issue between the router and NTL but I don't know what else to try. Any advise would be appreciated.

Also, as I've never dealt with a NTL CM before - how does this normally authenticate as he has no credentails setup on his PC, he just plugs in it via his network cable and away he goes.

Please help ;-)
