Bonjour.

I have a question. I have an NTL:250 cable modem. Where my PC is, there is no power sockets. So i use a 4-gang extension lead. But i unplu the lead when not using my PC, as the wire gets in the way of people walking to and fro. (Obviously, i don't want me old ma and pa to fall now, do i?)

So is it ok to basically power on and off the cable modem once, twice, sometimes three times a day?

I mean, it's not going to affect anything, is it? (Like IP addresses and all that).

After a month or two of doing this, it's been fine so far. So i imagine it'll be ok.
