windows XP pc used to be on dhcp from the router without
any problems, but it now needs a static IP. Since this
was configured on Friday, it keeps losing connection to
the internet several times a day. If I put it back on
dhcp, the connection returns and I can then put it back
on to static for an hour or two, before it goes again.
The NIC is still showing as "enabled" and I've changed
all the power settings to "always on" in case power
saving was knocking it out, but it's still happening.
For now, I've had to put it back onto dhcp but only
allocate 1 address to ensure the pc always gets the same
one. It may work for now, but that won't be any good when
we add more pc's behind the router.
Any suggestions as to what might be happening? all
settings are correct (subnet mask, DNS,gateway etc)
