That's correct according to Robin Walker's page:

You can get connect another machine to the cable modem as long as you
power-cycle the modem. There's also a limit of 3 different MAC addresses
served by NTL's DHCP server per 4 hour period.

The tips of Robin's site are very useful and show how to register using
any OS with a web browser that has Javascript support.
