After passing for several problems including the infamous "WAN port dies" issue which I fixed with setting manually the WAN port to 100full, I am having a new and weird problem here. This is not triggered by high traffic or anything like that and is reproducible all the time. Here is what happens:
I came to the main PC this morning and find the yellow dialog "LAN is now connected". This means that at some point in the night it has been disconnected. After checking XP logs (Event viewer) I find these messages in a regular basis (every time that my DHCP lease expires), here I transcribe the error sequence:
Category: SYSTEM
28.08.04@20:24:27:
Type: Warning
Source: DHCP
Event ID: 1003
Description: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 000C6E2F3990. The following error occurred:
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.

Description: The IP address lease 192.168.74.10 for the Network Card with network address 000C6E2F3990 has been denied by the DHCP server 0.0.0.0 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).

Type: Error

Event ID: 32003
Description: The Network Address Translator (NAT) was unable to request an operation of the kernel-mode translation module. This may indicate misconfiguration, insufficient resources, or an internal error. The data is the error code.
At the end it gets an IP and re-establish communication normally.
I also get the following situation that is really weird and don't know if it is related to the one above, this one is not all the time but I have noticed it pretty often during the last days:
I have a command window open with a ping command (ping www.vg.no -t) and suddenly I notice periods of lost pings but they come back to normal. When I check task manager networking tab I can see that I am losing contact during some short periods (they can be from 5 to 30 seconds) but the connection comes back to normal. These periods are shown in the network chart as dead valleys without anything going in or out. It gets fixed power cycling the router.
I am using Oleg's 1.7.5.9(v.3) and I am using the command for setting the WAN port to 100full (nvram command).
I appreciate your help with these 2 problems.
