Hey guys,

Was browsing and thought I would offer my two cents.

I was asked by my Aunty to go round and have a look at her PC yesterday, she has been experiencing exactly the same issue - everything is working fine and then a week ago the internet just died, she couldn't do anything.

She uses Telewest Broadband as well.

I had a look at her set-up, my initial thoughts were along the same lines as everyone elses - Firewall/Spyware issue.

I went through uses Search and Destroy and changed the Firewall settings, but still no joy.

Whenever the Modem restarts it tries to renew its IP, obtains an internal IP address and is then unable to connect to anything on the internet.

The odd thing is that there is no issue with the Modem or the NIC, I even replaced it.

I think it could be a local Telewest issue, she is based in the Feltham area SW London.

SpyJoe, where are you operating from?
