Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Ah, that's one of NTL's addresses. Somethings gone awry somewhere. It's a combination of XP being thick and ICS being **** at the best of times. Time to buy a router I think, much easier solution.

breff Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I assume the modem connects by rj45 if you have NTL, if so connect broadband router to cable modem, connect pc and laptop to router, connect to router with desktop machine and tell router to clone mac address. Set up desktop and laptop to recieve an ip address automatically. You should then be in business The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

Guest Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Does the modem also have a RJ45 10\100 network connection? If so you just need a router with ethernet WAN and LAN ports. You can then connect as many PC's as you want to it then and it's not a headache every time.

Guest Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Could be a duff cable. Should work with either straight or x-over. Before you start, default the router as the IP address could have changed. Also, do the config via a cable on the LAN side before conecting up the rest of the wires.
