NTL and D-Link 624+ router

I wonder if someone can help, I have purchased a D-Link DSL624+ router, to set my parents up with a 2 pc wireless setup. I fitted the router between the NTL250 cable modem, but could not connect. I can access the router via the web based setup, followed all the instructions,but still am not able to get a connection. If i put the modem back directly in the PC it works OK. Can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong, as it should be quite easy (it was when I did my setup with an ADSL unit on a phone line) im sure.

Have you powered off the modem, unplugged your existing computer connection and connected the router, then powered on again?

The model number of your router suggests it may be a DSL router, slings. That means it has a DSL modem built in: it's for use on an ADSL line and probably can't be used on a cable connection. Check the manual and see what it says; if it _is_ a DSL router, you need to take it back and change it for one you can use on a cable connection.

Sorry the router is a DI 624+, it does not have an inbuilt modem. I powered everything down, set it up and repowered everything. I think it has to be the setup in the web based programme I am doing wrong, but I am no expert, even though i followed the Dlink manual

while searching, it doesn't sound good, I'm afraid.
