I've been using NTL broadband since August on Mdk 10.0, so it can work!

When you say 'all I get when I try to use the net....' what do you mean?  When 
are you getting the message that settings are not correct, and what is giving 
you this message?

FWIW, my ethernet settings are set to 
DHCP
DNS1=192.168.4.10
DNS2=194.168.8.100
hostname is set to main.familyaldred.org.uk (not that that matters outside the 
house!).

Just one other thought: have you checked the firewall settings (in the 
Security section of the Mdk 1.0 Control Centre)?  The default is (as I 
recall) very restrictive: it certainly gave me a few problems when first 
setting up net access from Mandrake, and more problems when sharing the 
connection.
