:Yikes:Hi guys - i've had a look through the posts and don't think i saw a problem like this.
I'm using BB on ethernet through the set top box. It's running to a Belkin router then to my comp. It usully works fine, but every now and again, the connection will fail. My router will report no DHCP assigned connection settings. I have to restart the STB to renew the IP address for the router. After that every thing is fine for awhile. Today however, it has done this to me about 6 times. It's usually about once every couple of days.
I think it might becasue my Router isen't letting the DHCP server update the IP, but i have no idea how to correct this.
I'm usually running ABC bittorent when this happens, on WIN XP
and i'm in the PO4 9EW area - portsmouth
I have tried to find out what ports NTL uses for the DHCP server, but frankly, i'm finding it all a bit confusing.
Any help? Please?
