I heard this one earlier on in some thread and wonder if that can be true? It doesn't sound right to me, but hey!

I guess I just have to wait for an engineer to play with a little green box somewhere! :p:

Dan.

i have not heard this.

and this does not explain the fact you are being given a pre-registration ip address if it was down to a lack of ip addresses you would probably be assigned a 169.254.x.x ip address not a pre-registration ip

i would like to take a look at this for you but am not in till tomorrow, if you could pm me your mac address i will take a look if you would like. :)

Ok, thanks I will PM it to you tomorrow AM, I don't have it with me at the mo.

DarthYoda - how did your problem get fixed?!?

Thanks,
Dan.

Re: Very limted service

he would have had it resolved by removing the modem from the bb+ service and then the TSB would have put it in a queue so when the issue is resolved they will add him back onto bb+ (this is what they should have done)

voodoodan, do you remember subscribing to bb+ at all?

Re: Very limted service

I've never subscribed to BB+ (I found I had to pay extra for it, that's how I'm certain)! :)

I had BB+ removed then my modem deleted and added back on. That is quite drastic action to take though.

Re: Very limted service

i will get back to you when i am in at 6pm after i have taken a look at a few things.

try rebooting your modem and try browsing at 7 if you have no net access ;)

:D :D

Re: Very limted service

Ok, thanks for your help Nostra. I'll be hovering near the modem at 7! :D :)

Re: Very limted service

will try and get into work early to take a look at it :)

so reboot a couple of times between 6 and 7 :)

Re: Very limted service

Ok that's much appreciated. I'll reboot the CM every quarter of an hour between 6 & 7.

Thanks again,
Dan.

Re: Very limted service

your problem should be resolved sir ;)

Re: Very limted service

GENIUS! :Yikes:

Thank you very much, I'm well impressed! What was the problem?

Thanks again,
Dan.

Re: Very limted service

you were on the wrong dhcp server :)

hence the reason you were getting a pre-registration ip

glad your back up and running :D
