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 |
I'm on BT OpenWound, my connection isn't reset. In fact I've had the same IP address now for some months, 3 or 4 at least since last renewal.
|
I have the BT broadband that comes without email (Long Story - I pay for email seperate £1.50/mnth)..... it's about £26/27 month.......
It's NOT the £29.99 BT Yahoo Broadband..... if that makes any difference..... 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.... cheers phil |

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 Cheers Phil |
Well Well Well
Switched my pc on a hour ago.... just checked the connection status.......5 hrs
BUGGER!! However, I've just checked the Gateway IP address and the IP address and neither have changed.......... C'mon then you network wizards........... what's going down here then ?? (I'm confused) ...... to say the least |
|
Cheers for the link....
Yep did help..... spotted a thread tha a freind had started last september....
He has a DG834G suggested going to the latest beta firmware 1.10.10 done that..... so we'll see wha happens !!! cheers ta phil |
