This will not work. DHCP will attempt to renew the lease (as long as it works the way it does in NT) after 50% of the lease has expired. Therefore, if you set an expiration of 30 minutes, the lease will renew after 15 minutes, so long as a DHCP server is available on the subnet. The machine will therefore keep the same address. If the machine is rebooted and the lease expires while the machine is down, the address may or may not be reassigned. When the machine comes back online, and if the address in it's cache has not be reassigned, it will keep the same address. -----Original Message----- From: Denis Voitenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 2:37 PM To: Daniel M Church; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: DHCP Just make IP expire every so often, like 30 minutes or so. ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel M Church <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 1:25 PM Subject: DHCP > I'm a sysadmin for my school, and I'm in charge of DHCP.
