I get an unknown option error. Works here(tm). Did you - cough - run "dhcpd -r" to produce this error? It's quite similar when tab-expanding in a hurry... Marcus

What is the proper way to release a DHCP lease
Hello all, About ready to put a new box online, but need to "release" the MAC / IP address [of the old box] if I can prior to swapping out the boxes. This might save me a call to Verizon. I tried "dhcp release", but the OS returned a "command not found" error, essentially. What is the proper way to get this done? I'm drawing a blank with my google fu tonight. Thanks, Jay
