Unfortunately ADSL and Cable 'connect' differently. Your ADSL router knows that it must 'dial' the ISP to make a connection before you can work. A cable router knows the connection is always there but it must get a 'DHCP IP address' from the Cable Modem or STB. Basically an ADSL router will not work directly with a CM/STB based Broadband.

Bridging is where a network device sits on two networks and allows traffic between them, eg the PC would be connected to NTL via the CM/STB and also to the Router. 'Internet Connection Sharing' (ICS) is a software bridge that would allow network traffic to be routed from the CM to the Router. But as I said above, it would be a nightmare to configure!

If you don't have access to a tame network guru, my advice would be to flog the ADSL router on eBay and buy a £50 Wireless Cable Router (from Amazon or eBay).
