Problem with DHCP

Hi
I have connected successfully to tiscali broadband with Speedtouch 580
ADSL router. Periodically the internet connection fails. The symptoms
are as follows:

- Internet doesn't work
- WAN and DSL lights on the Speedtouch 580 are on
- The internet light is flashing (which apparently means internet in
use, though when the system is working and not in use, there is a
continuous light here)
- Diagnostics reveals that there is no connection to the DHCP (?)
- If I rerun the configuration CD a number of times and do several
reboots of the 580 I can get the connection to work (sometimes the
TCP/IP finds no machine, and then sometimes it does).

Anyone know how to fix this?

You may just want to re-flash the router with the current version of the
firmware the router is using to see if that corrects your problem.
