Hi all,

I've been recently upgraded to NTL 2Mb Broadband ( from 512k). I've a machine with Windows/Linux dual boot setup. When I had 512k, both windows and linux used to work perfectly. After the upgrade I can only connect using Windows.

On Linux, I've set up the connection to be DHCP and the DHCP server to 10.185.6.139 (which I got from Windows). All I'm getting is time-out errors by dhclient (Mandrake 10.1). Is there any extra setting I need to be aware of on the NTL STB. Any help is greatly appreciated.

cheers

PS: I dont have any router in between. It is a straight connection from STB to PC.
PPS: I've originally posted this thread on NTL forum as this problem is specific to NTL and the good moderator there locked it! I can see the moderators are busy, but if they take a minute to read the content before locking threads, that would be very helpful.
