Vista drops network map connection

Yes - a bunch. Mostly Dhcp-Client 1003 (timeout expired) with the occasional
1000 (lost lease) and 1002 (lease denied). I can't be positive, but it looks
like it may drop the map when the lease is denied. The server that is denying
the lease is at IP 192.168.1.101

From the Vista machine: Pinging the XP machine by name gets an immediate
response from 192.168.1.100. Pinging the Vista machine by name gets Request
timed out from the MAC address. When I try to ping 192.168.1.101, I also get
request timed out.

From the XP machine: Pinging the XP machine by name gets an immediate
response from 192.168.1.100. Pinging the Vista machine by name gets an
immediate response from 192.168.1.101.

According to XP, it appears that the Vista machine is supposed to have IP
192.168.1.101 However, I've looked at both TCP/IP v4 and v6 settings in the
network connections and both are set to DHCP. And one more piece of info:
even though Vista drops the network map, the machine is still able to access
the internet.

I'm confused now. Should I set the Vista machine to 101 and see what happens?

We need more information to help. Do you have domain network? What are the description of those events?

I do not understand what you mean by "domain network"... There are no error
logs with that title and my network is a 2 node home network that I *think*
is statically assigned...

The description of the previously mentioned events are as follows (note the
two different network addresses in 1003; I have only one NIC):

1000 - Your computer has lost the lease to its IP address 192.168.1.101 on
the Network Card with network address 001A92101D14.

1002 - The IP address lease 192.168.1.101 for the Network Card with network
address 001A92101D14 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.1 (The DHCP
Server sent a DHCPNACK message).

1003 - Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network
(from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address
8000600FE800. The following error occurred:
The operation was canceled by the user.. Your computer will continue to try
and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

1003 - Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network
(from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address
001A92101D14. The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired.. Your computer will continue to
try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
