OK...my Windows box uses DHCP to renew the lease. I have a static IP and DHCP is not needed ot required, to update a static number...hence the _STATIC_. As far as my Linux box is concerned I am only a 24.112.blah.blah number on the Roger's network, same as a 192.168... on a private network. The leases for the IP is just a technicality so they can enforce rules if they wish.
