Its working at the moment, I had trouble with the internet keep going off with this warning yesterday, I disabled the connection and enabled it a few times and ipconfig/renew the IP. It came back on and hasn't gone off yet.
What causes this to happen and what is the best permanent fix?
It went off again, so I changed the internet protocol version 4 properties, from auto obtain IP address, to the IPv4 Address, from the above info and it came back on.

You would be better leaving it as automatic/DHCP.
Have you tried rebooting your router (turn off/on)?

Yeah,,,i've tried all that,,it does come back on and stay on with no problems if I mess about with disabling and enabling connection, I haven't had problems with it for months, but yesterday it started going off again.
At the moment it still works not using automatic/DHCP, however if it goes off again I will switch back to auto.
I wonder if steam has anything to do with it, last time I reinstalled steam and I had no problems however that may have been coincidental.
This is a Virgin Media router? If the above are when its working ok, what do the settings show when it's not working? Any obvious differences? Just DHCP?

I'm not sure what it shows when its not working,,,i will have to wait for it to go off to find out and post them using my laptop (although I am hoping it doesn't go off again;):D)
