Im having some major problems with my connection! On Thurs my connection dropped off randomly, tried the old rebooted and reset of the digibox, with no luck! didnt think much of it, so i left it over night and it was up and running again the next morning... Great!

.... until it happened again this Sat, but now its not coming back any more!! The connection appears to be ok, but if you watch the connection in the 'Network connection' window, you can see that it tries to aquire a new network address every 20-30 seconds. Tried repairing the connection so it reassigns the IP address, still no joy! Ive not made any changes to anything, no new programs installed recently, no spyware, it just started happening, Ive tried a system restore just incase... still no joy

I rang NTL yest, but apparently one of the systems was down so they couldnt do anything! Now im working shifts all week and Ive not got time to spend the obligatory 2 hours on the phone to NTL! Can anyone offer any advice?? or point me in the right direction?? Cheers.
