You could narrow down the problem by disconnecting the ADSL line and trying to get a local IP address on your PC's - that would prove whether the DHCP server is reliant on an ADSL connection (I would hope not). If the router can normally handout a dhcp address without an ADSL connection it would suggest there is a problem with the firmware on the router, or it's hanging. Is the router hot when the connection drops & is there decent airflow?

HTH

For the record, I too am more familiar with NTL CM's than ADSL.
