Sorry to take up so much time on this. It has me well stumped. I am getting to the point where I have the XP disc in my hand, and I am shouting at the modem, threatening, "I'll do it, I'll wipe the hard disk, don't think I won't. Don't push me motherf****er." and I know it's sitting there going, "Go ahead punk. You don't have the b@lls".
Anyway, sorry for the vearing off on one.

Shouldn't drop your IP unless you switch off either the Stand Alone Cable Modem or the STB for a loooooong time (or they resegment/ work on your area of the network lol).
I would IPCONFIG /release
unplug USB
Power off Modem / STB
Reboot to safe mode
check device manager for hidden devices or ghosts (think hidden devices are under View in the top menu)
Shutdown
Power up modem
wait for lights to stop flashing/ stabilise
Connect modem to NIC/ ethernet port
reboot
Fire up browser and see what happens
If needed point the browser at the necesary page for reprovisioning.
