Ah, I have a new ip too, I just checked. My connection died at 3:11am and I had to switch off the set top box for 30 sec and restart it, then everything was fine.

One thing I noticed was that when I look at my DUMeter to monitor my downloads/uploads, before last night there was always a tiny bit of activity in red (download), I assumed it was essential internet communication or something, but now it's not doing it. Before, with this little bit of activity the DUMeter logo in my toolbar was green, but now it's red (no activity) which is kindof disconcerting as in the past, when it was red it meant my net connection had died. It was more reassuring when it stayed green. Does anyone know what this small amount of download activity was, and why changing my ip would stop it from doing it?
