It is
I knew how to reset the tcp/ip but I was advised to reinstall it but and I've now also completely reinstalled the tcp/ip(afetr spending awhile looking for it on knowledge base heh heh), and I'm still getting the same issue.
I've run the network diagnostic and not gotton any fails, everything is "passed" the only issue there is incorrect DHCP address, 255.255.255.255 (I'm typing this from memory so wording may be slightly different)
I also tried uninstalling my NIC, and reinstalling it, I did Ipconfig /release then /renew and I get "unable to contact DHCP server" error on the /renew.
I'm still doubting whether or not this is my issue, there's 2 PCs, one that wasn't even plugged in with the same issue, and the issue only arose AFTER a disconnect from NTL.
When I called tech support yesterday, the only thing they would say is "nothing more we can do" and terminated the call, so if anyone has any other ideas it would be much appreciated, I'm about 24 hours away from installing a BT line heh heh
