Have you tried pinging an address or IP address at all to see if you have any connection at all through the STB?
Oh yes! I typed the reply and lost it..which is why I was a bit irked.

Yes. The detials are from windows. The IP address is automatically assigned. Yes, the STB was changed during the upgrade. I tried pinging couple of IP addresses including DNS servers, but invain. In Linux, the PC is not getting an IP address at all. Log shows a 'time-out' error from dhclient (which negotiates with DHCP server for an IP address). I'm just wondering if NTL's DHCP server is Windows only or something like that.

thanks.
