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.

Yeah, I think it may be coming down now to the cable. I have put this
thing to sleep several times and it re-established the connection on its
own a couple of times. This last time it failed to connect and I
unplugged the Ethernet cable and plugged it back in and it immediately
connected. I need to come up with another cable and see if that clears
it up.
