Just thought I'd let you know that, after many, many hours on the phone to
the NTL tech team, my Airport Base Station is now working with the cable
modem. We hit on the fix by accident. The answer is/was not obvious but it
can be sorted within a few minutes, by yourself, if you only know how. And I
(now) know how!

If anyone has similar problems, just give me a shout.

Thanks Ashley and jonathan.
