unable to program router/modem
I have just setup a 2/3 computer home network. The system default is a 1 day licence / lease. No matter how I edit the sitecom router modem, to increase the time, it is not accepted by my computer.

I'm running on XP, requests for a new IP are not recognised by the Sitecom 214 home station. The only way I can keep online is to reinstal with factory settings. This wipes any settings I have changed. Can anyone help please?

What do you mean by that? Often, even if you have DHCP enabled, your computer will keep the same IP address all the time.

At the end of the 1 day factory default licence, the net connection is cut. As I cannot extend this period, I have to reinstall every day.

What happens if you manually renew the IP address from within Windows?

That's what I meant.

And when you reboot the computer, it doesn't renew either?

I'm not sure. Is this something that perhaps you should contact Sitecom about?

If you can't resolve the issue, perhaps you should just manually assign all IP details for each computer.
