The issue had cleared up for a while but not it's back with a vengeance.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks,

The first episode occurred in early April and lasted for a few days. It then went back to normal.

Now, in middle May, it's started again.

It hasn't been a continuous thing.

Thanks for your feedback,

If it isn't a flaky connection due to line quality, it would be hard to diagnose. OTOH, if you are not seeing any issues, other than relying on a constant IP address, don't. Rely on constancy. Your connection is a dynamic IP address, and the only way to use a dynamic IP connection reliably for servers, is to sign up for a dynamic DNS service.
Hi,

It's not a flaky connection and other subscribers have reported the same issue.

I DO use a dynamic dns service; but when the ip changes ever 10 minutes or so it creates severe problems. IP's are generally cached at the other end so an update to the dynamic dns service may not help.

Thanks for your feedback,

It had been stable for a while but starting yesterday my IP is changing frequently.

WTF is going on? Is there anyone from Ma Bell on this forum? Can you give us some insight?

Thanks,

My modem is in bridge mode and my router does the pppoe authentication. There is no indication of the ip change in the router's logs.

AT&T, if you're listening (probably not), please explain what's going on.

If I enable bridge mode (or PPPoE passthrough) on the modem and enable PPPoE on my firewall will this help?
It depends....... if the PPPoE server is ending the session there is nothing you can do about that
If the modem is ending the PPPoE session letting the router do the PPPoE may help]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-help-IP-changed-many-times-today-22201450 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:02:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-help-IP-changed-many-times-today-22201395 said by madasuk:

Today it seems back to normal.

I'd just like to know what was going on purely out of curiosity.

I'm noticing the same thing happening in Southbury, CT. IP changing every 2-3 hours. At one point it changed every 15 mins.

Whats going on???

But today, I've seen the ip change at least 10 times. Probably many more since I'm not always watching.

What's going on? Is AT&T doing some configuration work? Or is this the way it's going to be from now on? Why?
