That suggests that your DHCP lease expired. Or that you have Virtual Private
Network and it's recycyling the IP addresses, especially (but not necessarily)
if it happens after a few minutes of no keyboard activity.
: Any ideas? Is it worth trying the 3.16 Beta?

It can't hurt but I doubt it will make a difference. Talk to your network
manager about the DHCP lease period or VPN address recycling.
