MediaOne dns problems

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

My Mediaone connection has finally been working okay for the past week or so,
but now a new problem has cropped up. My ip address changed, as it has a
number of times before, but this time the corresponding dns entry for
my cablemodem, h00306548b0d2.ne.mediaone.net, wasn't updated to match.
Releasing and renewing the dhcp lease doesn't help, it keeps coming back with
the same new ip address, and the dns entry doesn't change with it. I've even 
tried powercycling the cablemodem and the router, separately and 
simultaneously,
to no effect.

Is this a common problem, and is there an easy fix for it?
