Oops...next time I'll use a calculator. Doing the math in my head is apparently not reliable :-D So, perhaps you can check the clients lease to make sure it is using the 10 minute setting. If the client is Debian and using dhclient, check /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
