Re: Network stops after time

The DHCP server is a part of the DSL modem I believe.

As I stated earlier in the thread manually configuring the interface does
not
fix the problem.

I ran the PC in safe mode this morning for over 2 hours and the NIC settings
were not lost. On return to normal mode the setting was lost withing 5
minutes.

I look forward to your comments and help, thank you,
Sid.
