Telewest now isnt it? (Or uses the same setups).  Unplug your cable modem, restart your router, then plug the cablemodem back in.  May have to clone the MAC from your PC though.

Just as a note to anyone reading, you dont need to register/Clone MAC addresses on telewest anymore, I guess they saw that there was too much time setting up MAC addresses

Im on the 54GS also although mines running the DD-WRT Firmware, and previously I had a netgear running on this connection. Im in bristol, so dont know wether its different where you are? but Ive done quite a few installs around bristol.

Anyway, not that it really matters as hes got it working now..
