DHCP errors and browser errors

I use Chrome and sometimes I get the error ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED then it stops loading pages and I have to reopen it. I first though my Chrome was corrupt or something until I saw the Event viewer and DHCP errors were popping out at the same time the Chrome error.
The error is:
ID 1001 Dhcp-client
Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address xxxxxx. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server

I use wired Ethernet, the router seems fine, anyone know what's up here?

Thank you
