Can someone please help! I've just got broadband through NTL, and I cannot get it to connect automatically on my laptop. I have to keep running the Network Setup Wizard (from set up a home or small office network) every time I turn it on.

I did manage to set the TCP/IP addresses up manually, but today when I went on that went wrong (although I see that others are having problems with the service today).

My mum used to own this laptop, and had NTL broadband, so could it be something to do with that? She also used to have it networked up to her PC!

Is there anything I can do to get it to set up automatically (the NTL cd doesn't work)?

Just another small question. When I look at routers, what do the mbps mean? How many should I look at for a 10mb speed?

Thanks for any help!
