Hi,
After a quick google search, it seems you have to register your PC's MAC address with NTL before it will work. Also some DHCP clients don't work properly. A friend of mine had some trouble getting Blueyonder to work with Linux, but after getting the latest version of DHCPCD it all worked.
Try looking here

Hope that helps
Chris

I've had NTL broadband installed and, for the life of me, cant get anything other than W2K/IE5.5 to connect to it properly. The Linux box gives me an IP/DNS and gateway from DHCP but doesnt seem to want to work. Anybody got any clues? Tom
That's just plain spooky. Me too! lol
Indeed, I get an IP address, DNS, and gateway, but it can't ping the external network, or resolve any hostnames. I've spent all day today doing this!
What do you put in your hosts file when you use DHCP? i.e. my old one was something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 pixiedust pixiedust
But as I don't know my IP in advance- what should I do?
