Public bug reported: My Ubuntu 16.04 desktop frequently loses the IPv4 address on its wired ethernet connection to my office's network. This happened this morning and previously happened 8 days ago.
The network uses a Windows Small Business Server as its main Active Domain Domain Controller which includes a DHCP service. There are several other Ubuntu 16.04 machines on the network that do not seem to experience this issue. This is an IPv4 only network, no IPv6 services are configures and IPv6 is disabled on most machines. My PC has two wired network ports. One connects to the office network and uses DHCP to get an IPv4 address. The other connects to a switch on my desk that has test equipment connected to it and uses a static IPv4 address. I have the output from: ll /var/lib/NetworkManager nmcli -p c nmcli -p c show TN\ Wired Taken; after the renewal of the address eight days ago, this morning before I "Disconnect"ed the connection from the drop down menu and after I reconnected and an IPv4 address was re-acquired. If any of this would be helpful, please let me know and I shall post it.
