The frustrating problem was that the clients kept getting the old router's IP address. This was for the simple reason that I had managed to not change the value of the "option routers" entry for the subnet. Doh! I have fixed that. Never be afraid to recheck your own work. I did shorten the lease times and that has accelerated the changeover. I didn't need to restart all the client's leases. Two days hence I'll change them back. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
