Power cycling the Ubee modem fixes our problem as well.

TWC BC has already replaced the Ubee once already :-)  The last one
decided to reset it self back to factory defaults - and poof - we lost
our Static IP :-)

Bridge Mode might work, but TWC BC has password protected the modem so
we can't change the config.  The password is no longer based the MAC
address, I checked ;-)
