So the connection between your STB and PC via ethernet works fine without the router? The wireless part of the router works OK? A wired connection between the router and STB can't be made.

Start by trying a wired only connection between the STB > router > PC. Get that up and runing first, then add the wireless. I'd reset the router again to clear out any settings you have made. Check too that your PC's settings are cleaned out in terms of IE type settings for caches, DNS and the like, allowing the network card to pick up settings automatically. Power down the lot, then reboot (in order) STB, router, PC.

Once you have rebooted you want to get to the ntl STB broadband registration screen. Type start:ntl into the IE address bar. You should be able to register the router, without any need to clone a MAC. If you already have a number of PCs or other stuff registered you may need to delete them as it will only allow a maximum of five.
