What ever happened to plug and play

Basically I build new PC's for friends and family and I need to load the windows - virus updates from my NTL broadband via the Samsung STB before sending them off.

How do I easily connect a different PC without calling CS? Is there an .exe I need to run from the install CD?

I notice that there is no DHCP from the STB and at the moment so Im doing internet connection sharing from my own PC which is a pain in the butt (Have to run 2 PC's)

I think from the reasearch Ive done so far the NTL system goes by your MAC address!! Please tell me there sh***ing me!

Many thanks in advance.
