So, I've had my IP from Xfinity for almost 12 years unchanged. Wake up this morning before I left for work? Guess what, it changed. Hope
it STAYS what it is ... had to scurry and update my domain name to
point to the new addy before I left. Sigh. Why can't people leave
shit alone? :)

w0w; thats interesting - I use Xfinity, too... hope that doesn't point to something they'll be doing m0re often.

One time they turned off my WiFi b/c it was named ITHURTSWHENIP - they literally turned off my DNS and messed up the BBS and my whole home network over it - I didn't even know they would monitor the NAME of the SSID. Weird!

That's such bullshit. But I think I found my issue for net2bbs not working, as port 23 would just die for no reason. I get a ton of power off's for like 2 seconds, and apartently this netgear router got screwed up somehow. I finally broke down and unplugged modem and router since my wife was telling me some sites weren't displaying on her phone.

Plugged everything back on, no internet from the router. Had to leave it unplugged for anot 5 minutes and reboot it 2 more times before it "fixed" itself. So far, since it's done that, no port23 issues.

I'm thinking maybe that's why my IP changed ... the router screwed up so bad and they thought it was new of offline for too long. ?!?!?

Its possible your v4 IP broke but v6 IP's were working. Not every site is
on V6 yet.. a good test is to ping google via v4 and v6 and see if you get no reponse from the V4 IP. Xfinity is a dual-stack provider, much like my ISP,
and I've seen this exact issue here.

Could also be they had a messed up DHCP server, or moved your cable node to
a different "CMTS" (cable router), which would cause you to get an IP out of
a different subnet.
