DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed
Trial Firmware for me too please. DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed with the October release 1.0.9.16_2.0.106. Options also seems skimpy in the configuration settings. Thanks!!

Way to assume. Nope. The only new driver released was for the wireless card. Not the 226v. And my 226v had the issue again this morning. I have been working directly with WarmHelp_NTGR on this matter and will post details here when I know its fixed.

There is new drivers for the ethernet card which I have installed:
Have you tried this driver?
Been working for me.

Yep. The 31.1 archive for 2.5gb and others, does not contain a newer driver than the one I was already using from October. The file time and date stamps are from 2025, with only the readme file as changed/updated, So, I'll try again when Intel actually releases something for these adapters. I discovered this not long after release. The only update I found for any of my hardware was for the KillerWifi on the laptop, that also exhibited this issue. I installed the driver to this machine 2 weeks back, and this past Saturday, it did not show the issue. Sunday, I installed the newest Beta firmware on the RS700 as well. So waiting again for Saturday. I sure as HELL would like to know what/why this occurs on this regular of a schedule. I'd love to see the code or what is governing this schedule. If they would start there, they'd find the problem.

I have my RS700 online and my one Intel I226-V testing again this week. Will see if I can reproduce anything this week. 1Gb port. Same PC connected to my RS600 could not reproduce.
Could be something on your PC as well.
Also a work around that may help would be to disable Power Management and Ethernet Efficiency on the adapter as well. I've been testing with this enabled as well.
