OK. Had a look at the manual for your router. The correct settings are:-
ISP does not require login
Account name and domain name are not required
Internet IP address - get dynamically
DNS Address - get automatically
Router MAC addrss - use default.
Test

If this doesn't work, I'd say there is a problem somewhere - bad cable? Bad cable connection? Putting in IP addresses etc manually is a bad idea, as the IP address you get from NTL is leased for a limited period. If you set to 'obtain dynamically', the router will renew the address as required. If you put it in manually, the lease will expire at some point.
