Hey Everyone,
I have a strange request!
At my flat in London I have an ntl broadband connection through a cable modem - which I keep an eye on remotely. For some reason I don't seem to be able to ping my IP address any more. This usually happens every couple of weeks (possibly because NTL are doing some kind of maintenance) and a reboot of my cable modem fixes it.
However, I'm away from London at the moment, and am worried that the modem has gone off because we've run out of credit on our electricity meter: which means all our food is nicely defrosting :erm:
I'm pretty sure that its just that the internet connection is gone. If my IP address had changed I would be able to see my router's updated IP in dynamic dns.
What would be great (if possible / allowable) would be if one of the NTL staff could remotely reboot my cable modem. I can prove that its my account.
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Phil.
