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.

Already done all the above - see my original post where it says that the router was not assigned an ip address, gateway or DNS by NTL, but that the NTL modem is fine. Only thing different between a setup which worked and one which has a problem is a Mac address entry.
Going to try that tonight - it was a solution which worked for someone else having the same problem as me on another computer board. Will let you know how I get on.
