some good advice or help please
 

im using windows xp pro with standalone 120 modem
on the connection properties aka network connection details im looking at lease obtained /expires it is valid for 24hrs
up until now i av turned my modem off at night but am lgonna leave it on 24/7
am i gonna get disconnected after 24 hrs or what???
im asking because i dont understand the lease obtain/expires thingy... doh!!
when i had my internet thru a stb it lasted for a week
i would apreciate it if somebody could explain it to me plz
one last thing is if i were d/loading or gaming would it stop me
like i said it will be brill if somebody could enlighten me thanks in advance:wavey: :spin:

Hi mate, the IP address will be renewed without you losing connection, so you can leave it on 24/7 and under normal conditions (ie no networks faults NTL side) would not lose connection.:)

chances are very high that it will obtain the same IP address again anyway :D so gaming servers can run through the IP renewal.
