macojoe, try a different port on your router....
you might also want to consider blowing away your TCP/IP settings and reinstalling them... this is only an option if you have the original setup disk....
It sounds to me that you might have a hidden TTL/MTU setting(s) that might be over riding causing your machine to dump it's ip.... I'm totally brain dead with this IT stuff ATM.... but this is a simple fix... usually happens from time to time... most companies secretly adjust your Network settings so you can't notice when they are sending info back and forth...like auto updates...
Just review your network settings and make sure that they are all the same well except for the ip...
actually.. i just re-read your last post..
make sure your router is set to DNS and that each machine is set to automaticatly obtain..... if one machine is set to say 192.168.1.100 and it's down and you have another machine set to auto it's ip might be just that....
ack i just re-read what i've posted... if you can understand what i've said then... if not just ignore it... i'll post something easier to understand when i get home from work...
