Re: Random Restarts and DHCP Network messages

2 - Event ID 1003 Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the network card with network address 0050FCA0929A. The following error occured:
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 has a yellow triangle with white exclimation mark.

I used to get these two entries in my Windows log, but nothing *appeared* to be wrong.

In the end, I found that manually putting the two Virgin DNS server addresses 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 in my router config settings, rather than having it detect them automatically, "cured" this problem.

However, I agree with others that the restart problem may be something else entirely, possibly an add-on in Internet Explorer causing issues or an unrelated software/hardware issue?
