Today, it is rare to find a computer not connected to a network.  Keep your network properties in view all the time by placing its icon in the notification area.

To do this, go to Network Connections in the Control Panel.  Right-click your network connection (Local Area Connection for wired - Wireless for Wireless).  The graphic above will pop up.  Check the Show Icon box highlighted in the graphic.  You should also check the Notify Me box so that problems generate a warning.

Now your network status will always be in the bottom corner of your screen.  If your DHCP server has a problem, your wire becomes disconnected… or any other problem occurs, you will see a warning instantly.
