[NTLUG:Discuss] 2 different ip?

[Kenneth Loafman]

They must lose/reset the cache contents on occasion.

I've had a Linksys 8-port Router on the cable since I hooked up and my
IP has changed twice.  The changes were not due to service interuptions
since the modem, router and all systems are on UPS's and they are never
powered off.
