I have been on NTL BB for a couple of years and want to swap from USB to Ethernet. Have purchased Belkin PCI card and followed instructions - no joy! The card is working but doesn't seem to be able to get an IP adress. I have...
o powered off pc/modem & removed/replaced cables in all possible combinations
o checked "never dial" and unchecked LAN settings
o switched off the firewall (Kerio)
o set the modem to 100M full then back to auto detect

Modem is ntl:home 100 (ambit). OS is XP Pro SP1. ipconfig gives...
connection specific dns suffix: {blank}
Description: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
Physical address: FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
autoconfiguration ip address: 169.254.47.27
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: {blank}

Repair connection fails - "renewing the IP address"

Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received - thanks.
