I have no static IP set up on any computer, and I am using a PPPoE through SBC.

your router may have conflicting ip address with your modem..

find out the ip address of your modem..

i.e 192.168.0.1

set your router in series

ie 192.168.0.2

that should work ok :)

which device has the pppoe set?

i have my modem connecting into my router and the router is set for the PPPOE. computers connect to my router.

i reset my router and reset all the setting, and it works fine. but this has happened twice so far, and i would die if someone could tell me the true reason why it does this.

It probably has to do with being crappy hardware, and DHCP leases. Those are supposed to expire. Good hardware is supposed to renew them. That seems like the most likely cause to me, but I don't know specifically of reports of your brand notoriously doing that.

Watch out for buses and meteorites for a couple days, just in case.

i had that same though, but i was hoping it was something else.

thanks, and i watch out for anything with a potential threat
