hi guys
we live in a student house and wish to connect 4 pcs to our one ntl broadband cable modem via a router.
we have set up the router and modem in a way that follows on from the following post on this site:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=8269

However, the only pc that is able to access the internet is the first one booted up after the modem and router are turned on (each being given time to settle). It does not matter which is the first pc booted, thats the one that works and the others will not.

Have tried the following from the not connected PCs

Start>Run>CMD>IPconfig/All
>ping ping 192.xxx.x.x

which gives four replies. I was told that this indicates the router is working and that there is a problem with the workstations, but given that each workstation has been connected in turn im confused????

Have we missed some part of the set-up out?

Many thanks
Ed
