My first suspect would be a bad router, constantly searching for addresses
it is failing to find. Perhaps the router would need a new copy of its bios.
Event ID 4199 is logged in the System log when you assign or change an IP
address on a Windows Vista-based computer:

Hi,

Your router may be configured to drop pings.
