Spare us the mystery and tell us what you're getting at. :-) Did you forget
to tell the DHCP server to provide the correct default gateway address to
the PCs? That's my guess, since you say everything else like helper
addresses, etc. is configured correctly. Just a late-night theory, waiting

I see I should have made this one a "Friday Folly" :->
In a Big Flat Bridged Network, a mobile user unplugs the laptop at one
office, drives over to the next office, plugs back in, and no further action
is required. The Windoze PC has retained it's IP address, and the network

You could try Mobile IP. That would require more design and configuration on
your part than perhaps you wanted to get into, though, espeically if there
are lots of mobile users. But it's proven to be quite useful for wirless
mobile users who have the same problem that you're describing, of course.
mobile IP!!! Thanks, Cil
I'll throw that one out to the folks I'm working with!

Your customer would probably be gravely offended and unbelieving at the
prospect that most major changes in digital computing connectivity
involve a
trade-off of some kind, but that doesn't render it any less
why is that ? we have segmented avvid network across our campus. The
laptops are all W2K and they work just
fine without any issues on DHCP...The routers are all running hsrp and
work correctly..

Because pre-W2K windows didn't automatically try to renew a lease when the
ethernet interface comes back up after being down. So...if the old lease
hadn't come up for renewal during the time the machine moved from point A to
B.the users don't automatically get connectivity.
Lots of options t
Chuck,
Have you tried to shorten the DHCP lease time?

Nothing to fess up to, Chuck..My w2K works the same way at home..
connect, get a number..disconnect and reconnect , get a different number..
Linksys routers are pretty simple devices...I have two of them currently
and
both give out dhcp on different subnets...I can get an address from
either one

Strangely, they also detect 'cable reconnects' and attempt to re-IP (via
