NTL Broadband Problem and IP Addresses

My Ntl broadband has been playing up for the last couple of weeks. During the day I get no service but after midnight it runs fine.

I have rung NTL twice now and both times they have said its my computer and not their end.

When I checked my IP address when it wasn't working it said that it began 169.**.**.** which the bloke from Banaglore said was not an NTL recognised IP address.

Now my NTL is working (it's after midnight) my IP address is 81.**.**.**.

Why is my IP address changing at what looks like set times? Is it anything to do with the maintanence work going on in my area (Portsmouth)?

NTl have told me to get my computer checked out in, especially the Ethernet NIC Card. Are they talking out of their behinds?

Hope someone can help.

I'm on 2mb broadband through modem ethernet. Think its the 250 box.

Cheers
