Shall report in soon as to success or failure
Best thing is NEW SET TOP BOX< cos this one is CACK, so hoping for better menu's and quicker updates of TV stuff.

well....was hard work, but was done.
For the record, for you guys to NOT stumble where me and the NTL guy stumbled....
the OLD sign up page WAS http://start.html
it is NOW http://start.ntl which they aint told any of the engineers on the roads about
BUT as DNS is not working very well at all.......
use
172.16.30.35
When you first log on, the Network Properties on your connection, under the Support tab shows as a number sstarting with a 10. and after you've signed on, and rebooted the box and PC< then it'll show your new IP.
TiG...the router is sorted
We are FLYING![]()

if you want a 1.5 mb connection, then they DO have to visit.Originally Posted by FordPrefect
Have just checked my NIC and it shows as a 100 link now..the old one showed as a 10.
You'd have THOUGHT a 10 would have been FINE for a 1.5 link but I'm pleased with my new set top boxanyway
all slower connections are still OK on the previous box. 600 goes to 750 for free for example on same box

for those that get your broadband through your digital stb, if you have the 1M gold service, ntl will swap your old black pace box with a shiny new silver samsung one, because the old pace boxes can't cope.
tell you what I don;t have a stb but zak33 let me know mate if your box crashes on the cable alot, mines doing it three times a week at the mo, everytime you have to pull the cable out and when it boots up again it says please hold, upgrade in progress, grrr
