Try turning all off again,
reboot NTL supplied cable modem FIRST (let it do its thing for a couple of
minutes)
THEN turn on the netgear router after the NTL modem is settled.
reasoning - the netgear needs to see the functioning NTL modem in order to
provide proxy/NAT... if its not up & running it will assume incorrect gateway
status.
Hope that works for ya
