Since I logged this afternoon I'm getting server disconnects after about 10 minutes in-game.

I tried the proxy settings, the patch on demand turned off and tested my other applications and MMO's including steam online fps games and the connection problems only occur when I log into STO and get disconnected after 10 minutes.

Also after a disconnect I need to renew my IP address through the command prompt if I want to be able to use the internet again, and I will add again this did not happen before the DT yesterday or ever with any other internet application I have ever used since I got online somewhere in 1998.
