By the time I can start iptrace the error has already occurred. How do I TCP
to restart the DHCP process?

I don't have both a LAN connection and a dial up connection at the same time,
it is either one or the other.

One thing I did notice is that the TCP configuration changed the IPs for the
name servers. I had not expected TCP to save the new IPs in the config file as
they are only temporary while that connection is alive.
