Failure obtaining ip address of interface eth1

[Deleted]

I keep d/cing a few times a day no internet for about 30 to 60 seconds. I checked my router logs this time while i had no internet and it gave me this error.

Sep 4 18:17:26 (none) local6.err upnpd[3202]: Failure obtaining ip address of interface eth1

Does any1 know what it means?

your ethernet nic is looking for a IP address from teh DHCP server (usually your router)
try assigning a static address:

ip: 192.168.1.55
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1

primary dns: 192.168.1.1
alt dns: 8.8.8.8

oh, you may want to check that your router actually uses the 192.168.1.x addressing scheme first

Completely offtopic, but FOUR GTX590s!? What could you possibly be doing o_O

OT: Run nslookup on command line and see what DNS servers your PC is using, might want to manually assign them on your PC. Also check that your router has a static address, might want to leave your PC on auto

I found one thread where a guy had a similar error (among many others) and he replaced his router/apparently dying modem and fixed it.

Is the router fairly new? Might try exchanging it to test it out if you rent, should be fairly simple.

I get similar disconnects (although not as frequently and mine are only on one computer) and my ISP says everything is fine on their end while everything they and others have told me to test on my end is fine as well. I hope you have better luck than I did getting yours fixed.

Sounds like a driver issue honestly. Try updating your nic drivers/wireless drivers. Whichever you are using. Then reset your router and modem. See if that fixes the issue for you.

My router is using 192.168.0.1 to logon and 192.168.0.x x=2 or higher

So does that mean i need to change your settings with the ip i got selected?

What's probably happening is your dynamic IP lease times out and it just take a while to get a new one. So yea set your IP manually to 192.168.0.5 (no specific reason I chose 5) and change your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and your default gateway to 192.168.0.1
