NTL Broadband On The AmigaOne From A PC

[GadgetMaster]

Just buy a compatible broadband router (not too expensive nowadays) and the problem  is solved.

With a router you don't even have to have your PC switched on to access the net.

@AmigaOne

What kind of STB do  you have from NTL ?

Can you link to pictures of the ports etc that are on the box?  

How is the PC connected to  the box?

I use a Draytek  Vigor2200USB router that is connected to a USB ADSL modem. They now have a new version with the modem built in.

I don't know if any of  these are compatible with your setup. If they are I recommend them.

That's cool they now support USB modems, but it seems these are for ADSL only, and just support about 7 different modems specifically.  I don't think that would work with the broadband service he is using as it comes in via STB and not ADSL.

To quote from the Draytek website :

>>>>> Cable - Cable Modem Interface. The product has an RJ45 10BaseT Etherner socket which plugs into your cable modem or set-top box's Ethernet interface, using the RJ45 CAT5 cable (supplied). This is ideal for UK cable services from Telewest Blueyonder and NTL. The interface can also be used to route to any other type of Ethernet connected network, or another router, including another ADSL router such as a non-NATted ADSL router <<<<

A bit of miscommunication I think.

 yeah probably :-)

I am only guessing it will work anyway. I have not tested it so I can't be sure.

I hope the original poster can get his problem sorted soon. I am sure there  will be many more ways to solve this and I am sure that when A1s get  more widespread we will find out about many interesting ideas and solutions. ;-)
