Hi,

I am running windows XP - home edition with broadband connection.I am
getting following error message viewed from windows event viewer -
applications

error message - your computer has lost its lease on IP address

My internet connection seems to be disconnecting intermittently. Any help?

Check your router to see what the DHCP lease time is set to.

If you only have router and only one ( or a few ) PC(s), I recommend you
disable DHCP and assign an IP address....that way, you'll never have a
problem like this.

Thanks guys,

I do not have router. I have ADSL modem connected to network port on my PC.
My ISP do not provide fixed IP address to home user like me.

I have Bitdefender firewall setup alongside windows firewall. After disabling
bitdefender firewall, the dhcp error disappeared. Earlier it was getting
every minute. Any clue?
