I carry a USB flash drive with me everywhere I go.  On of the VERY useful things on it is the winsock fix.  It takes 15 seconds to apply it and it then forces a reboot.  I use it all the time, sometimes "just in case" when I need a reboot, just because it forces a reboot.  I will set a sub up, and try to connect.  If I can't I winsock.  99% of the time it works.  the other 1% is bad network card or cable issue, like needing a crossover.  The winsock fix for XP that I have works on all M$ OSs.  During the 15 second process it detects the OS.

Just thought of this.  Would it work if the radio did the DHCP.  This is a Deliberant 2300.
