Cable Forum - View Single Post - nother slightly different NTL / Belkin router issue

I just bought an F5D7230-4 Belkin Wireless G router.

Ive followed the instructions to the letter wireing my main PC to the Router and then the router to the ethernet socket on the NTL modem.

The set up guide on the Belkin CD makes everything look fine and dandy untill it actualy gets to connecting to the internet. What ever I do, whatever order I reset the PC / modem / router, and however many times I run the 'easy-set-up' guide and follow the instructions again from scratch, I just cant get on the internet.

All the lights on the router are as they should be but the ethernet light on the NTL modem flashes very rapidly the whole time it is plugged in to the router. Rapidly as in probably about 10 times a second. Never seen that happen before and dont have a clue what it means.

If I hook the modem back up to my PC directly and reboot the PC and modem then Im on the internet again no problem. So the modems definately not completely broken.

I told the set up program that I had a dynamic IP which I think is right for NTL, and my PC is set to obtain an IP address automatically.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance guys
