If you just plug in your router, does that not work ?

Well then that should work. Configure you router accordingly.

pretty much, the NTL disk automatically sets up email accounts and so on. So you will have to do that yourself, I think you get all the info with that. or get it off their website.

As for setting up the net, unplug the cable modem and router, then plug in the modem, then the router 2 mins later. Make sure that everything in the router control panel is set to automatic... and then if you really have to go to the internet connection wizard in windows. Thats what I usually do.
