Power down cable modem and router. Re-power them. Router should get an IP
from NTL (no user/pass needed) and the router should give the client
machines all the info they need to access the net. The router becomes the
gateway *and* the DNS server usually.

Note also in this case it's inadvisable to power down the router without all
the other machines being powered down first. It won't damage anything, but
when the router is switched off it forgets which IP addresses it has handed
out. When switched on again it might hand out an address that's it gave
another machine before being switched off, which could cause a clash.
