NT loses IP address

We're running NT4 and DHCP connected to a cable modem as our internet hub for a small LAN. The server loses its IP address numerous times during the week. Running IPCONFIG will NOT renew the address. Only rebooting and re-logging in seems to work. Does anyone have a fix for this or a small batch file that could be run from a workstation that would cause the server to reboot and log itself in?
thanks,

Just program your NT box for static IP assignment (just statically assign the one that you have right now.) Then reboot. If that fails, you may want to talk to the cable company tech support people.
