Hi All
I run a linux server 24/7 on my ntl cable modem, nothing fancy just a web and mail server,
eth0 is set to DHCP.
Ethernet from cable modem to linux server, anyway just recently eth0 which is set up as DHCP has been grabbing ip 192.168.100.10, Its really weird as its impossible for eth0 to grab that IP from the modem, This happens at random intervals sometime 5 days sometimes longer,
Anyway, my question is.... If the white coax cable coming into the modem would die (no power signal) short term, would the modem issue an internal IP to eth0 ?
This is proberly down to my configuration on the linux server but.. I just want to rule this out,
If anyone is interested i have a posted this on several linux forums, check out

If you think you could help me,
Thanks again
