I reckon it's a MAC filtering thing. They've set all their engineers' PCs to Allow and everything else to block - especially since it was THEM that cut you off.

Not even registering has unblocked it for some reason. Which also explains the multiple "not working" / 169 issue.

I'd ring NTL back and get them to check for blocks on the account.

I can't see how it's a problem your end:
- Hardware's eliminated by using >1 PC
- Software's eliminated by reinstalling Windows

Or with the connection since the engineer's worked...
