Guys
1st post from me in this forum!

I too am seeing loads of hits from my cable modem, like every 0.5-10 seconds.

They are UDP traffic from my modem's IP on port 67 (bootps/DHCP server) to destination 255.255.255.255 destination port 68 (bootpc).

Can anyone say if this is a problem? I just today received a replacement modem from Virgin, it's doing exactly the same thing.

Also.... my neighbour does not see this problem on his network.

At this stage I don't know if it's related but I also suffer from sporadic wireless restarts.

thanks
Paul
