Did you check if your BIOS had the same option since the Windows option you
are using is not working.
I am surprised that windows even with a restart does not work. How about
run/cmd/ ipconfig/ / renew?

Hope this helps.


Daniel, this did help, and I thank you. But unfortunately it led to
another problem. When the computer goes to sleep the Ethernet connection
is broken, but when it wakes up it fails to re-establish that connection.
Is there a setting to cause the network adapter to establish a new
connection? A hot restart won't do it, only a cold boot.
