I suspect that this may have been answered elsewhere, but unfortunately I cannot find any clear answers.
My sister had just had a broadband connection installed by NTL. The modem is a small blue "Ntl Cable Modem". To the rear of the unit (where the connection points are located, a yellow sticker has been sited, which states "Do not connect the cable modem to your computer until prompted by the Broadband Installation Disc" (Or something to that effect).
What I was wondering is - can the account not be set up without the CD? I am aware that it installs alot of crap onto a computer, and this isnt appreciated, especially where hard drive capacity is at a premium!!
I remember when I installed mine (probably about three years ago) that we had to go through the process of the "autoreg.????.net" site, inputting a pin number and a serial number. Surely this can still be done?
I guess what Im really asking is, if I attempt to install it in this way, will it screw up their account? I know the PC is capable of connecting to BB, because it was mine up until I recently replaced it. (I'll be connecting by Ethernet by the way - W98 & USB just dont mix well!!)
Any help or advice on this topic is greatly appreciated as always!!
James
