Trouble, Since I was the one who mentioned the IP issue with the router, I will respond. I didn't quite understand your point below, so please explain. My router hands out IP addresses to computers in my home network, like you said below, it hands them out from it's dhcp table. For me, I only allow a small range of IP addresses to be handed out. It seems that when one of the machines in my home network disconnect, the IP address that it had been using doesn't get cycled back into the pool of available addresses in the dhcp table. Thus, if enough of the addresses don't get cycled back in, the router is unable to allocate another IP to the next machine in my network to connect, and thus the machine cannot access the network.
I don't know why the IPs aren't freed up, and it doesn't happen all the time. On Tue, 1 Sep 2009, Trouble wrote: > Only one problem here. If the router loses the ip.
