Hi guys,

I just purchased a BEFSR41 Linksys router (4-port), and connected the Internet port with a ethernet cable to the NTL set-top box.

Then I connected one ethernet cable from the router to my Mac upstairs, and one ethernet cable to my PC downstairs. The PC uses a USB to Ethernet adaptor (Belkin F5D5050UK).

I cannot get any internet connections on both computers, and I heard that you don't need to do any configuration for NTL broadband e.g username , passwords, and that I should simply set it to Obtain I.P Address automatically.

Any help?

Anyone else used the same hardware or been in the same situation?

Thanks.
