Hi I'm new to this forum and hoping someone here can help me out with a problem I'm having.

I have NTL Cable Broadband which comes out of the wall and screws directly into the NTL provided Modem box (which has a USB out and a ethernet out - either of which work connected to my PC).

I just purchased a Netgear DG384GT Wireless ADSL Modem Router with 4-port 10/100 Switch. The only input into this seems to be a modem cable port (RJ 11 Modem Jack?)

This Netgear device is obviously designed for an ADSL line out of a telephone line (comes with the telephone/modem ADSL Splitter etc). My question is can I use this with my NTL cable modem. If so how do I connect them.

I've tried so far connecting them using a few different adaptors that hasn't seemed to work (the Netgear device doesn't pick up an internet connection). Is there a specific cable that can do USB or ethernet into a RJ11 jack and would this work?

If anyone else has a similer set-up I'd be intrested to see how you overcame this.

Of course NTL support have been no help with this whatsoever...

Many Thanks - Frustrated and confused.
