Yup, we use this, just to make things a little easier for roaming
users. Keeps the lease database cleaner, too.

Is this an XP or Vista machine? Vista does seem to handle networks and DHCP
differently but I have had so few issues that I am unsure if they are OS
issues or from other sources like the bundled software or Cisco software we
add to our laptops.

That's basically the problem I was trying to troubleshoot. User
brings in laptop from different network and can't get an address on
new network. First network is supposed to have DHCP release option
set. That's why I was wondering if that option actually did cause
Windows to release the address
What would happen if you unplugged the cable, fired up the machine, and
ran an ipconfig? I've seen some XP laptops come in, get fired up prior to
locating a net cable, and find that they still have their "home network"
settings.

Hi all, just rejoined the list after a bit of a hiatus; hope someone
knows the answer to this.
I was reading about a Microsoft DHCP option to release the IP address
on shutdown. According to what I read, this should cause the client
to send a DHCPRELEASE request to the server prior to shutdown.
