[quote=Ignition]What are you on about?

The load on Telewest's servers should never be so high that a modem will be waiting this length of time to be given an IP address.
If Telewest's servers can take up to 30 mins just to look up a few details in a database, grant an IP address over DHCP and send a small config file with TFTP speed issues are the least of our worries.

n1, that answer for me why my modem takes so long to get an ip number when its been switched off a while. Even during the night. And Win Xp times out well before 30 mins and advises you to contact yr network admin

Actually I see you work for BY support,

BY afficionados will have no criticism of the it no matter what.
