I have two cables and both give the same effect. I tried installing the modem on another PC and laptop, the green LED on the ethernet card lit up, but again the PC LED on the modem did not light. I'm beginning to think it might be the modem afterall.

If it is the modem do you think NTL would be willing to replace it, even though it's a few years old? How long do you think it would take for them to replace it?

The reason I want to use ethernet now is because I'm setting up a wireless network, for my dad, for Christmas. So I take it that if the ethernet doesn't work when the modem is directly connected, it's not going to work through a router either?
