Hey, I see the problem. You're experiencing connection issues with your external device after a week of working around the clock. You've already checked ports on the router and adjusted IP settings on your PC, but the issue persists. Since you can't restart the DHCP service directly from the services app or via admin prompt, here are some next steps:

1. **Check Firewall & Antivirus** – Ensure they aren’t blocking the VPN traffic.
2. **Verify DNS Settings** – Confirm your PC is using the correct DNS servers for the VPN network.
3. **Restart Router and PC** – Sometimes a simple reboot helps.
4. **Use a Different Port or Protocol** – Try switching to another port or switching from TCP/IP to UDP if needed.
5. **Check for IP Conflicts** – Ensure no other device is using the same IP address.
6. **Update Drivers & Network Adapter** – Outdated drivers can cause connectivity drops.
7. **Consult Router Logs** – Look at your router’s logs for error messages related to DHCP or connection.

If you're still stuck, let me know what OS you're using and I can give more targeted advice. Stay persistent!
