Well, as far as I understand things - essentially the router is simply an IP client as far as NTL's DHCP is concerned so shouldnt really behave any differently that a PC. Perhaps Win XP's TCPIP would renew the lease automatically, but the lease duration is surely an NTL thing.
The weird thing is that when I refreshed the IP lease this afternoon the issue period is now 2 days, yet last night a 2 hour lease was replaced (when I renewed) with a 30 minute lease.
Btw - I forgot to mention I'm in Swindon (Wilts.)
