    setting network protocol parameters in response to the loss of connectivity;

    informing a software module on the computer of the loss of connectivity so that the software module may reconfigure itself in response to the loss of connectivity;

    detecting when the computer gains connectivity to the same or to another network;

    discovering parameters of the newly connected network;

    setting network protocol parameters to configure the connectivity to the newly connected network, said parameters including at least one discovered parameter other than the network address; and
