(Connecting Via STB Cross over cable) (was connecting via Wireless Router until that packed up) I am having a problem where if i am downloading/uploading at the same time i lose my internet connection, IP address goes to the 169 internal address and loses the NTL IP/Gateway etc... I have to reset my Set top box to get the internet working again, this could be 3 meg could be 120 meg downloaded, no time limit either, im not using Kazzaa or Grokster, Bitorrent and DC only. The internet will work fine for hours on end, but as soon as you upload/download it will drop you off. Its fine if say downloading from MS (260 Meg) so it must be to do with uploading too. NTL service has been dire as usual, the tech people have been fine, but there seems to be no log of what the last person has said, and if there is, they still ask the same questions, the fave i get is reset your box (yes ive done this for 3 months now) its working now sir (yes i know that) i cant really help anymore now the box it working (arrrggghhh) ive had 2 engineers out, one took the attenuator off the cable, the second one turned the volume down on the box outside the house. Still no help, This happens on 3 PC's and also tried it on the other STB in the house, Anyone else had this, it must be a network problem with the area, I dont want to leave NTL but ADSL may have to be. Any help/ideas would be gratefully recieved
