Through the router but is it via a cable or wirelessly?
You can get your current MAC by opening a CMD box or typing cmd into the run line in your start menu and then type
ipconfig /all
at the prompt. Your current working MAC address as well as your current IP etc will be listed. Somewhere in your router setup pages you will have a section where you can set up a MAC address for the router to use. Clone the working one in and NTL will believe that the router is effectively the connection that you are currently using and when your power cycle all your equipement it will talk to your router as normal.
Now I take it you have powered everything off,
connect all items together via ethernet if possible
reboot SACM or STB
wait for lights to lock/ settle
power up router
wait for lights to lock/ settle
power up PC.
