Readers,
I've had this problem for a year now. It's insane. I've tried so much, I feel like I'm going crazy:
All of a sudden I lose internet connectivity, not at the modem, but windows won't connect. The only thing that solves the problem is a Windows restart, I don't need to power cycle the modem or anything, since the connection still exists, but for some reason Windows loses IP address with the following Event Viewer error:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003

User: N/A
Computer: BADADJECTIVE01
Description:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 00173FCDCE99. The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

This happens multiple times a day, sometimes only once a week, no pattern, and I need to keep restarting the PC over and over again when it happens.
I've already:
-Re-installed Windows XP with a COMPLETE format, fresh install.
-Replaced modem (Time Warner Cable Roadrunner)
-Replaced network card THREE TIMES with different brands.
-Replaced cable from PC to modem
-System otherwise completely stable, all latest drivers, patches, windows updates, etc.
What the hell could it be? Is it some bad software I keep installing, even after the windows re-install? Someone please help!
