I use a Belkin 4-port cable/DSL router which was a breeze to install. He
will need to change to using the Ethernet port on the modem. I bought USB
to Ethernet converters (by D-Link) to avoid opening up the PCs.

The instructions for the Belkin router assume no prior knowledge and I
found it very straightforward.

Thanks. I have not seen his physical setup - I presume the existing USB
modem was supplied by NTL. Would that have an Ethernet port as well as
the USB connector? I think he already has a network card.

Up to this time all NTL modems have had a ethernet connection, only
comparatively recently have they also had USB. So yes your friend's
will have a ethernet port....
