Hello There!

I have a lady who has NTL broadband through a TV set box. This is currently being used by her own PC. She now has to work from home on occaision, so we have given her a company laptop ,with all necessary software on, and setup a VPN to connect to our company firewall.
I have installed NTL onto the laptop, and setup as per instructions (switch box off, wait for flashing light to go out,etc.) - I then enbale the company VPN and it connects to our network fine - All OK!
However, when the lady then connects her own PC back to NTL line, no connectivity at all. This also happens in reverse (set NTL backup on her own PC, and this will work, but Company laptop will then have no internet, regardless if VPN is enabled or not!).

Someone has told me that I need to register the new MAC address for the company laptop with NTL, but I have no idea where to do this, or if this is correct. Does anyone know where/how to do this????

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
