So are you using the router from your old address in the new house?

It looks like you are connecting to the ISP server (god knows how that is working at all) and getting a connection, then the ISP is realising that there is something wrong - the phone number/connection server/whatever is not the 'right' one (ie, the one from your old house).

Getting it set up properly will solve it. Maybe.

Guess 2:
It could be a loose connection somewhere. Check from your wall phone socket to the router. Take every connection apart then re-seat it. Is your landline OK for making calls? Does the call ever drop? If so, call BT/your supplier and ask them to check the line.
