Re: Ntl broadband sharing via router trouble

In common with most ISP supplied software, the ntl CD is best ignored unless, as I said, you need the USB modem drivers. Since you get the option of connecting to your ntl modem/settop box with ethernet, which is far better for a good, reliable connection than USB, this means you only need the CD if you don't have an available ethernet port. And even at that, you'd be better off getting an ethernet card.

This is very strange behaviour for a router, though. Would help if you posted what make & type it is.
