I have AT&T DSL and I have to authenticate every few days (as the IP from AT&T changes more often than I would think it should), but not every time… side hijack, if I say Remember, does it forget the one before so that whoever has my old IP can’t use it (though the odds would be fairly remote anyhow)? However, it is only every few days, or after power outages.

But if you are losing IP between the game and getting into the forums, then there is a router or modem issue. Is the IP actually changing each time? The email should include the IP, if it is changing each time then something is likely set wrong on the modem or the router (if they are different). I would guess you have the the modem in bridge mode and the router handling details (the only way I could access the Internet for my setup). If so make sure the router is set to stay logged in (connection mode always on… you could set it to manual, set the timer to a day or week, then set back to always on). If the modem itself is handling the login, then the way to access it should be on the bottom of the modem… but give the details Kalec asked for first…
