Here's a feature request....I guess.
Is it possible to make the DHCP client keep trying if it doesn't get/or is
unable to renew a lease?
Last night I wasn't able to get on....and I found that the DHCP process had
go away and I had no IP address. Eventually I rebooted and it just hangs
counting the seconds since its been looking for a lease. But, the actual
process has stopped running. Eventually, the DHCP server came back up, and
everything is working again.
An Aside: A gripe for RoadRunner....they take their phone off the hook when
their service goes down....so nobody can call in to find out the status. I
tore through my whole setup checking things only to finally find out this
morning that their DHCP server had been down. Plus they didn't update their
status page (I know because I looked at it from my wireless internet
service).
