Dropped again. Here are the results of ifconfig:

From that I conclude that I don't have a dhcp lease. The lease is
renewed by clicking on the Wired Connection 1 line in the drop down menu
called Ethernet Network.

Using the Google FOO:
ubuntu MATE 16.04 loses dhcp lease
I found this:
https://superuser.com/questions/1087359/occasionally-losing-wired-lan-connection-on-ubuntu-16-04
I have to leave in a few minutes, but I'll pursue that further when I
get back.
Thanks for the pointer to dhcp lease.
