So in my case it can be a small power glitch that forced my router to reset and retrain, or something on my ISP side.
Contact your provider and ask them if they are able to tell what is happening or why they give a new IP or at least when they give out a new IP. Depending on the quality of the helpdesk, this might need to be answerd by somebody not on thephone (2nd or even 3rd level)
If I can discover a way to log the IP number the router gets, then I could investigate. I can ssh to my router and learn the IP, but it is not easy to automatize.
It depends on your router. If you can get it with something else then SSH (e.g. via a website) then it should be very easy. I have a script that look each minute if the IP adress on my router has changed. It should not be too difficult to change it to log your IP changed and the time the changes occour. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
