I don't believe they are required (by dhcp specs) to renew their lease just because the eth or wifi link dropped (even if winxp does do it). The whole point of a lease is that the dhcp server is saying "here, you are allowed to use this IP until this date/time"... if you reconfigured your router to give that IP to some other device before that date/time was reached, then the IP conflict was caused by you breaking the lease, and is not the fault of the device that kept using the old IP. -- jsharper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jsharper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51895 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
