Back in the days when I was living in a house with NTL, we had to turn the cable modem off and leave it off for ~3 mins (though we used to make it 5), so that it would pick up the change in MAC address (whether it was a new PC or router) when it was restarted. No idea whether that still applies.
Yes, I think that's it, b-i-l hadn't remembered that this was necessary when connecting a new computer.
