Lost Connection?? Help!
On monday i returned home from work and switched on my PC only to find i could not access my e-mail or internet. I though this may of been a temporary fault but as of this morning my connection is still not working. The rdy and sync lights on the modem are both on as with the u/s and d/s flashing as usual but i can't access the internet. Is this a problem with my PC or is it my connection to the network?

Re: Lost Connection?? Help!
Have you tried rebooting the modem. Take out power lead, wait 10 seconds and replug.

Check your firewall isnt blocking the connection. If the sync and rdy lights are locked 9/10 that means the modem is OK and i would check the PC out... could be wrong tho.

Re: Lost Connection?? Help!
What's your IP address ?
Start ... Run .... CMD
Type ipconfig /All
Is it a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ?

If it was a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then you aren't getting an IP address from NTL
Check the tcp/ip settings, make sure that the IP and DNS are set to get automatically.
