Sorry if I gave the impression I was having a go. I wasn't. I certainly don't see you as Prey.

I just don't see how your method of changing IPs is any more likely to work than IPconfig /release, then renew (or, the renew option on the router, if connecting through a router). After all, if NTL give out IPs with 4 hour leases (which I think they do), then if you release, do whatever, then renew, as long as it's within 4 hours of the original IP being assigned, you should get the same IP.
That's my understanding of the IP assignment system that NTL use too, which is why if people have problems connecting new equipment up to their connection they sometimes get told to power the SACM down over night so that it releases it's IP address and picks up a new one in the morning. Unless you are lucky and someone is looking for an IP address as you release it you are most likely going to get your IP back again when you renew it.
We're not picking on you it's just that some of your replies have been a little.... short
