But my network is NOW working, with the said router and I seem to have bypassed the MAC address on the NTL supplied modem!

This is both against advice from NTL themsleves and the router manufacturers. I think it as as likely to be an NTL problem as a router problem. There are plenty of other similar problems in the broadband discussion forum. I think this is also relevant. This probably has more to do TCP/IP than general computing.

I am new to forums and apologise if my reply seemed a bit much but I am having no joy from NTL who simply say it works directly into the modem, no go away and sort it yourself!

I'm just after an explanation for what has had me pulling my hair out for 2 days.

I didn't think it could work this way, until recently I'm pretty sure the network couldn't see the internet using the routers MAC address, now its the only way it doesn't crash!
