I use the ZTE 831 modem that everyone complains about it. Had it since 2003 so it's the older generation (supposedly tougher than the newer ones now). PC is always on unless black out. Connected to a surge protector. Been redialing to get onto fast IPs. No problems so far. Amazing considering that modem has never been powered off for days on end unless no choice.

In any case, WoW will force you to change IPs anyways. There are times when a few days later, I can't log into WoW until my IP changes.

1. Set modem to function as a router so that it auto-dials when line is dropped. Set inside the modem via browser. Only do this once is enough.
2. Dial-up to streamyx using Windows Broadband Dialer. If need to change IP, just disconnect and reconnect.
3. Power off, unplug and plug in network cables to modem if step 2 doesn't work. Repeat step 2.
4. Reset modem by using pin to press a little small hole. Do this when you're disconnected from streamyx. Hold I think for 3 blinking lights. Might have to cehck your settings from step 1 but shouldn't go missing as this is only resetting the IP, not the settings.

That's what I thought too but having done that so many times, the settings are still there? Unless I'm not resetting it right.

Which is actually more than likely to happen.

making fun of ladies doesn't mean that men are not struggling too besides, we were all ignorant once upon a time, even you.

a helpful post if you could help to be more clear a bit on :

-where to save the script file
-how to set the route settings so that it turns on the script file. suggest a link to the relevant post in the Network and Broadband forum.
-possible to ask ppl to change which setting for the IP they want. not all locations in malaysia can connect to 218.*.*.*

also, a word of caution to those wanting to try this out. with streamyx, if you redial too often and too frequently, the "node" (using their terminology but not understanding it too well) you're connecting too might get blocked. to overcome this, you'll need to call Streamyx Helpline and get them to unblock that node. just lie to them and say that you've done all the troubleshooting so that they can log a problem log.

"node getting blocked" doesn't happen that often these days but in the past when streamyx first started out, it happened quite a lot. else, set a time-delay when reconnecting, say about 20-30 secs. that may help but it may still happen.
