As I understand it, the cable connection comes into a cable modem from which there is a ethernet port to which you can connect to your computer's NIC. The cable modem will allocate your computer an IP address and DNS servers via DHCP.

OK, apparantly I can get broadband in Norwich with NTL now, has anyone had any experience with them? I'm thinking more of the technical side of things. I've been informed that NTL uses some gizmo on the phone line so you just plug it
straight into a NIC and not a modem, so I'm *guessing* that there wouldn't be any problem.
Of course, that's just a wild assumption ;-)
