Event ID - DHCP error

Event ID 1003 - 'Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP server) for the network card with the network address xxxxxxxxxxxx.' 'The operation was canceled by the user.'

Been getting this for several months along with other errors (see below). I have done some searching and found information linking this to a bad cable (changed it out) or to a problem with the router with the suggestion to cycle it down. Did that. Found a reference to a firewall problem. Uninstalled Norton (life is good) and installed McAfee. FWIW, most errors occur when no one is home so I do not see how the operation could be 'canceled by user.'

Win Explorer - on opening Explorer and selecting 'My computer,' I get an hourglass for 2-3 minutes before Explorer 'finds' my drives. (Same thing happens when I try to change folders in a 'Save As' display. Even then, if I select a drive/folder in the left column - no problems. If I select a drive folder from the right column, I get a command.com screen.
How do I resolve these?
