Err, I am Cisco qualified. I know how TCP/IP works, and how NAT works.

My reasoning was that IF netguard needs some sort of activation code sent by NTL (or the original manufacturer), then it may embed the machine's IP in the request for activation. Thus the code would only work on a machine with the same IP as the machine that requested the code.

A lot of software does this.

So, no, being behind a router is NOT irrelevant.
