A "fixed" address served up via DHCP still adheres to the same expiry rules as a "non-fixed" address. In fact the client has absolutely no idea that the address is fixed. All it knows is that the DHCP server offered an IP address and it accepted it. It will honour the expiry in exactly the same way whether "fixed" or not. -- Mike Holden http://www.by-ang.com - the place to shop for all manner of hand crafted items, including Jewellery, Greetings Cards and Gifts ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
