If you've set your airbridge to DHCP - then it could be the airbridge, however if the Airbridge has a static management IP, then it's the customer - The airbridge is just forwarding the customers PC requesting a new IP.As suggested, get them to get a router, and if that doesn't solve the problem place a few industrial magnets around their computer telling them they ward off evil spirits, which you think are causing the DHCP problem.
