Hi everyone
I've had NTL cable installed, and I need to set up my PC's to use it.
I'm currently connected with BT, and I have my BT line coming in downstairs which is then routed to 2 computers upstairs with a Linksys WAG54G wireless router. Both computers have Linksys wireless G USB network adaptors attached.
Now, here's where I get confused
.My NTL cable feed comes in downstairs as well. I'm planning to route it with a Belkin F5D 7230 UK 4 router which I've just bought. So, my new NTL cable modem will link up to this with an ethernet cable. The two computers upstairs will connect to this using the existing USB network adaptors.
Before I go ahead and start switching over to NTL, I thought it would be wise (while I still have a connection!!) to find out exactly how to do this with the minimum of fuss. Would it be better to do it all manually, or should I use the Belkin / NTL CD's? What order should I do this? (ie, get router up first, or NTL installed first?). I have AVG free edition virus software, SPAMfighter, and Windows XP firewall switched on.
If anyone would be so kind as to offer a step by step installation guide I'd be extremely grateful! I dont want to be stranded with no connection and no way of finding out what to do!
Cheers
James
