NTL is the main reason for your problems. ADSL (BT, Pipe, Plusnet etc.) is just plug and play.

Ah, found the problem. NTL charge £5 extra if you are sharing the connection with your PC, and so by paying them you get an extra IP assigned to your Live play.

Of course, the cheaper long term version is to buy a router that has NAt so it fools the connection into having only the one IP. You can buy routers from most electronic shops, here on SR and other online web sites for quite cheap (£25-£35)
