It happens to me after recent updates in 16.04 LTS. On boot I get an IP from the DHCP server, all is well, but the IP is dropped after a while, without complaint from network manager applet which still shows like the network is connected. Unplugging and plugging the ethernet cable solves the problem for the whole day. Looking in the syslog it appears that NetworkManager is started at boot time and then systemd tries to start it again, causing an IP conflict:
