It sounds rather odd. I don't have my home network using dhcp. I prefer static IP addresses. I am not real sure what you are doing and how it works. I don't use Orchestrate or The Sky. But if I understand it all correctly, you would need a dhcp server somewhere in the system if you (your PC) is automatically assigning an IP.
I would first try flushing the cache as Duncan has suggested. It may not do much but it would be interesting to see.
Try ipconfig /release
Then ipconfig /renew
But when that doesn't work,
Go into the Control Panel
Select Network and Internet
Then Select Network and Sharing
Then Change Adaptor Settings (on left of screen)
Right Click on the Local Area Connection and select Properties
Select the IPV4 item and click Properties
In this screen you should see that you are obtaining an address automatically.
Click the button to "Use This Address".
I would suggest you use something in the range 192.168.1.XX
For the subnet mask, you want 255.255.255.0
Hope this helps.
