You shouldn't need the install disk from ntl (I assume you are on them) except for the USB drivers. Plugging in the ethernet cable direct to the PC's network card, rebooting the modem / STB and rebooting the PC should be enough to swap over to ethernet.

If you still have problems check the ethernet connections and internet explorer settings are all set to auto detect.

The only registration you would need is if you connect via a Set Top Box, in which case you may need to phone CS to get a reminder of your PIN.

USB can use resources of your PC which a network card provides onboard. Thus ethernet may be the more reliable solution if you are having PC problems.
