if you got another computer, connect it up. if that still fail, then you know for sure it's not the computer and it is either the cable modem or something else with NTL. throw the ball back into their court.

Does it just fail to connect after the PC is restarted, or does it just disconnect after about 4 hours?
If it's the former, I've no idea.
If it's the later, then you've got a firewall problem, meaning that the firewall is blocking the DHCP server from resetting the IP address every 4 hours.
