Re: Problems With My Wireless Belkin Router And NTL
Finally solved this problem for me today, and I think it is the old school NTL modems at fault.
Borrowed an NTL modem from a friend and plugged it in instead of mine. And connection to the internet via the router was pretty much instant.
Because the original modem was perfectly happy to connect my PC to the internet directly it never occured to me that the modem could be the problem. I still dont understand how that could be. But where as no amount of power cycles, mac cloneing or arcane methods would get the thing to talk to the router, within 2 minutes of trying a second modem it was all up and running, connecting my PC to the internet via the router.
My original modem was a 4 year old NTL:Home 120 where as the one I borrowed from a friend was a much newer ntl:250.
So maybe a lot of these aparently unsolvable issues are because theres something peculiar about NTLs old cable modems.
?
Anyway. Problem solved for me. Just bought a recent NTL modem off ebay for £4.99.
