    Hi, Anna My NTL Cable modem is being installed this Saturday (so they claim). I am having an upgrade from analog cable to digital cable and decided to go for the broadband while I was at it (actually the updgrade was just an excuse to get a cable modem ;)). >All I needed to be told was the IP of their registration server, >and to find that out I spent an hour in a phone queue >which of course, being a tech support call isn't free). Can you save me few quid an let me in on the secret IP of the registration server in case I suffer the same problem you did :rose: BTW does it connect to the NTL phone line or the actual cable TV feed ? On the early version I saw the digital cable box had a network connector on it, however I have a feeling that the newer version is a USB device. Cheers Steve M

If yes : You can use the cable modem in your cable box. In no: You'll need an extra cable TV point near your PC. Steve Murrell wrote: however I have a feeling that the newer version is a USB device. If you get the separate cable modem option, you can use either USB or ethernet. Generally the USB drivers just emulate a network card, so you may as well get it all done in hardware and use the ethernet way if you have a network card.

      The registation server I used was https://autoreg.autoregister.net (IE helpfully replaced the IP address I typed with the web address). I don't know if it'll work in your area, but it's worth a try if nothing else works. Good luck! Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk
