Hi.

Hope someone can help, I've tried searching this forum and the rest of the net for the past 5 hours to no avail.

I'm no techy so please bare with me....

I am usually connected on the old NTL service via a pace box. Unfortunately my PC pooped itself about 3 months ago and required a new motherboard.
During this time I have used a laptop which I set up without any probs.
I've now got my old PC back and am trying to connect it to the box but I'm having real trouble.

I tried using the old NTL installation cd but got the V truck error, which now I think about it, think happened the first time I tried to use it.

I've tried to manually install but keep getting a limited or no connectivity message.

The laptop however works fine when I switch the cable over.

i tried the ipconfig/new advice to try and obtain an ip but I got no message telling me that it had been found.

Any help would be appreciated please.

Thanks.
