If the router is not a BB ready router, then it's not going to work. The ISP should provide you with a BB modem or you can purchase one that is on the ISP's approved modem list. If you purchase a modem, then the modem's MAC must be provisioned with the ISP You may want to find a BB router like a Linksys that does WAN MAC cloning as you may need that to clone the first's PC NIC MAC that's connected to the ISP's network and clone that MAC into the router so that the ISP thinks it's the computer instead of the router. Or you can have the MAC of the router provisioned with the ISP as well, so that the router can connect to the ISP's network, without any MAC cloning being done. I don't know about this NTL, but most ISP's will not support a router and you'll have to support it yourself. Duane  |

If nat is not a firewall then why do firewall test sites tell me that I am completely protected. I realise that a £60 router isn't going to protect me, but is NAT and maybe Zone alarm behind it enough for the home user |

Yes it does have a firewall. It is a router. The firewall is built in.
