BT Broadband - dynamic IP address renewal ???
Got the above ISP
Got me a Netgear DG834G adsl/router..
Every 20 ish days, my router status seems to reset itself to show 0days 0 mins 0 secs
Does anyone know if BT 'refresh' the IP adresses ??
.... or do ALL isp's do this??
... or is my router up the spout ???
Or is this normal......
I don't experience any loss of conection or downtime...
Would like to understand it...........
Cheers
Phil

Are you running the latest firmware on the Netgear? Usually your IP will be allocated via DHCP unless you specify/pay for a static IP (and your ISP offers it).

I've got the latest firmware, and do not pay for a static ip address.....
I'm curious as to WHY the router resets itself every 21 days or so.....
I have the version 2, but I've heard that people have their 'up time' on their routers MUCH over 30 days....

One thing I have not done is confirm whether the IP address has ACTUALLY changed....
(Note to self - IP address Logged..... )
I'll monitor it and see if it does infact change !!!!
mmmhhhhhhhhhhh
