xp WON'T auto renew IP address after lease ........HELP........
=======================================
ISP = comcast , CABLE MODEM = linksys , OS = xp pro
ALL LAST YEAR, my ISP was changing my IP lease date/time
every X-hours, if I was conncected WHILE my lease expired,
my address remained the SAME, and only the lease date/time
was extended another x-hours. This worked fine.
BUT THIS YEAR, my isp ( every X-hours ) is changing the IP
address ALONG with the date/time change ( kicking me off-line ).
XP should AUTO renew the new IP address for me, but WHEN
XP tries, it defaults to 169.x.y.z ( wrong IP address ) stopping
access to the internet.
TO COUNTER THIS, I reboot the system just AFTER the lease
expires to let XP find the new IP address so I can re-connect
to internet, UNTIL this new lease expires again.
X-hours is between 2-100 hours ( depending on maintenance ).
Cable modem tested and is working. MUST BE XP PROBLEM.
