Then I went & power cycled the Modem & Router. This time the router had an IP, but unfortunatley it was 10.41.*.* (Almost identical to the modems IP).
I thought I'd give a static IP setting in the router a try, and being as sad as I am, I've got the IP, Gateway, Subnet Mask, DNS1&2 memorised. Whacked that in, and the internet came back to life.
Then, at 22:18 I lost the internet again. Tried DHCP, but was back to 10.41.*.* ¬_¬ Back onto static again, but I'm not sure how long it'll hold out.
Anyone know why I can't get a real IP from the DHCP? Also, is it alright for me to be using a static IP?
Random possibly useful info:
600Kbps through a Pace 1000 series STB
BEFSR41 Router, serving 2 PCs & 1 Xbox
Post Code area: KT15
Also, this can't be good can it? O.o

There has recently been some work in the Guildford area (& others), so maybe that has been part of your problem?
(see
http://www.ntl-isp.ntl.com/ServiceStatus/)
Also, I believe the Linksys BEFSR41 has had DHCP issues with certain firmware versions.
Which firmware version do you have?
There is a thread about the new firmware here:

Also, a thread here about someone having connection problems with a BEFSR41:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=14577 (not really the same problem as yours, though)
Static IP...you shouldn't really use a static IP....
Have you tried phoning NTL's Tech Support about this?
Other than all that...can't think of much else, I'm afraid. I'm sure someone else will be along with more help soon.
