RE: How to extend the lease on an IP address?
OMG blade! I use the exactly the same router model (SMC barricade) with wireless support and ISP (telus DSL) too! I also use cord instead of wireless too (used to use wireless but it sux)! And I run into exactly the same problem too!
What i think is that SMC sux BIG TIME. My internet connection 'hangs' every couple of hours and i have to login to the router to 'untangle' the connection. When I connect the modem directly to a comp, it never have any problem.
If im rich, i would change my router to a "Linksys" or even "DLink" anything is better than SMC. O well, what you pay is what you get.
