on the connection properties aka network connection details im looking at lease obtained /expires it is valid for 24hrs
up until now i av turned my modem off at night but am lgonna leave it on 24/7

Hi mate, the IP address will be renewed without you losing connection, so you can leave it on 24/7 and under normal conditions (ie no networks faults NTL side) would not lose connection.:)

chances are very high that it will obtain the same IP address again anyway :D so gaming servers can run through the IP renewal.
