Folks, I have had a home network for years and am recently encountering a problem. I am running two Dells, one with XP home and one with XP Pro. I connect to Comcast via a Lynksys router. Recently, one PC has begun intermittently losing the connection (apparent when I try to open a link in a new browser window and get the page not found screen) and the second, which is running XP Pro loses the IP address every night and must be rebooted to renew the address. Any idea what the deal is? Why does one lose the IP address while the other doesn't? This is getting incredibly annoying.
thanks much,
Zenon
