Re: ntl250 ip address 169
Have you removed the USB lead and rebooted the modem after installing the ethernet lead?

If you are going to use a wireless router, you do not need to connect the ethernet port of the modem to your pc.

If you have the router already, connect modem -> router-> pc(s), and remember to *always* reboot the cable modem when changing devices that are connected to it.

Is the ethernet NIC in Network Connections set to automatically acquire IP address?
