i've been having same problem bigsinky - its been happening for months. I'm not sure either if its ntl problem or router problem. I have been in touch with router manufacturer - linksys - and they say its ntl's problem.

Re : Loosing IP Address

What bigsinky means is that the router leases an IP address from the DHCP server for 24 hours and it should renew it when/before the lease expires but it doesnt renew it so he looses his connection. He then probably has to either manually goto on his router config page and get the router to renew the ip or he might even have to reset the router/cable modem.

You dont get a message to say your ip has been lost your internet connection just stops working because no incoming traffic gets past cable modem and no outgoing traffic gets past router because the dhcp released ip hasnt been renewed.
