Im having great difficulty setting up a network with ntl for 2 computers. Whenver I activate my network ntl stops working. As soon as I disable the network my internet comes straight back online.

I've now bought a router hoping this would solve the problem, but i cant get internet access via the router.
When I follow the router cd it says I need internet connection prior to installation.

I think the problem may be, I have the broadband installed for a usb but need to change it to ethernet. I unplugged the blue usb adapter and the ethernet straight into my computer but no internet access.
I tried reinstalling with the NTL cd, but it says I need to delete the usb internet drivers. However I cannot delete those drivers as an error message prevents me from doing so "cannot delete, needed for system boot"

Any suggestions?
