Took awhile to get my connection back this time. One observation I made is that I lost internet about same time it shows "expires" in the previous post. I'll leave that to you experts to check.
I did do a ping 216.109.112.135 It did a "request timed out" 4 times
here is the ipconfig /all:

release-renew didn't bring back the internet connection. I had to power off-power on the Vonage adapter (only adapter, not cable modem too), but it only took 1 time doing it instead of 4-7 times plus powering off cable modem as I usually have to do..
I was just looking at the Event Viewer and found many daily entries of this
Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Client Date: 2/9/2008 6:09:55 PM Event ID: 1003 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: FB-PC Description: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 00044B034BAC. The following error occurred: The operation was canceled by the user.. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
Yes, pc works fine without the Vonage device. I just signed up for and installed Vonage last week. Before that I had ran the cable modem for about 3 weeks with no problems.
It looks like FreddieB has a very similar problem to mine. The status he posted looks very similar to what I have when my V-Portal loses its IP. And by the way, I also have this entry in the event viewer. The V-Portal DHCP may be unable to work when this situation occurs.
Strangely enough, I am on my fourth day without observing the problem. The IP lease will expire near 4PM today. I'll see then.
Meanwhile, FreddieB, can you indicate what type of broadband adapter you have? Mine is a Samsung InfoRanger (pretty old but still working fine and fast).
I reset winsock at command prompt with a "netsh winsock reset" command.
I also reset TCP/IP Internet Protocol Stack with a "netsh int ip reset" command.
That seemed to help alot. I did lose internet connection but not til after about 10 hours idle. And I didn't lose it until I started doing some web surfing.
My Voip test also was much improved...no packet loss and QoS was 99%.
I think we are on to something here.....some problem with the winsock. I am now thinking about doing a complete format/reinstall of Vista.
