Hi,
I've been having intermittent speed issues with my NTL 1.5Mbps BB service. I know its a long-winded post (Sorry!), but it is kinda connected (?) to this topic.
I've got a Belkin wireless Router (but normally only 1 PC is switched on at a time), I checked the security log on this, every 30 ish seconds, there was a DoS attack from 10.116.32.1. I figured this was fine, if a little annoying, but the firewall was doing its job.
However, this morning, I lost connectivity totally, after a bit of jiggery pokery I managed to get myself back up. BUT, the service was very flakey, so I tried a couple of ping & tracert tests. (See Below)

The attacking IP is appearing at the start of EVERY tracert.
I thought the router might have been hacked, so removed that (tracert below)

Clearly this didn't fixed it, so I tried plugging the modem direct to another PC, which had exactly the same problem.
This pointed me towards the modem! It is an ntl:home 120. After reading you're v. helpful forum I managed to get its IP as 10.170.xxx.xxx
The Internet connection is still up & down like a tart's draws and intermittently slow
I don't understand how or why everything is being routed through this 10.116.32.1. Furthermore, I don't know if this IP could be causing a bottleneck in my web access..? If anyone can shed any light on it, I'd be incredibly greatful! (Tried to ring NTL, but after 20 mins on hold, got bored!)
Cheers!
P.S. Let me know if any more info required!
