Dexter,

Try the following -

Power off STB, Router and PC.
Connect STB ethernet port to WAN (aka internet) port on router with RJ45 cable.
Connect router port 1 to PC with second RJ45 cable
Power on STB, wait 30 secs, power on router, wait 30 secs, power on PC.
On PC, browse to start.ntl to register the MAC address of the router with the STB.
You should then be able to connect to the internet.

If this still doesn't work, tell us the make and model of the router.

BTW - I would suggest you edit your first post to remove your IP address. It could make you a target for hackers!
