Re: Virgin Media dreadful support
If you open up the command prompt and do an ipconfig /renew you will get an error.

What is that error ?

So to me if I am right its either suspended service or a VM outage.

However since you have the dir615 I would assume its the dir615 getting the 169 ip and your lan ip's will be fine.

I think it depends on the modem. The none hubs will give the PC / Router a 169 if they don't have a valid lease. You wouldn't see a 192 from these modems.
