The cable modem doesn't need to register all MAC addresses, only STB's worry about pre-registered MAC's.

When you get home, power off everything, plug an rj45 cable from the CM to the 'internet' port on the Linksys, and another cable into you laptop from port 1.

Power on the CM and let the light settle. Then power on the Linksys and finally the laptop.

Browse to the UI of the router (192.168.1.1 - default pwd admin) and see whether it has a valid IP assigned by NTL. If not, browse to 192.168.100.1 (CM interface - root/root) and see whether that has an IP address.
Also let us know what LED's are on the Linksys and CM.
