Hi experts!
I live in coventry and for the last 24 hours i have had no broadband service!
If i goto the ntlworld website and check the server status it does not report any problems !!! Yet again it does not even list this year. you can select a month & year but it only goes has high as 2005! I have had to wait till i have come to work to use the internet to find this out!
On my cable modem the only lights that are on (and stay on, no flickering) are
power,ethernet,sync & ready. the other two which usually flash dont.
If i goto network connections/support this is what it says.
Address type: automatic private address
ip.169.254.140.124
subnet mask. 255.255.0.0
default gateway (is blank)
Is this an outage on hte network of ntl or is it my end?? I tried reintalling via usb instead of ethernet but have the same problem!!!
Is anyone else having this problem??? Or is there anyone who can help Please!!
thanks in advance

I have just read about the ip 169 in the sticky threads at top of page, I will try that when im home. + resetting the tcp/ip (found an article on ntl website) I did try the power down routeen but always got the same result. My ethernet drivers seem ok, I have never had a problem with my service since swapping to ethernet 18 months ago. It was the automatic private address and NO default gateway thats got me confused
does no default gateway suggest its a pc/hardware problem?
