Please forgive me if I am wrong but... My understanding of DHCP addressing is that when a client asks for a lease, they are given an address out of the pool, and their MAC is then listed as a preferred "user" of that address. They will continue to get the same address when their lease renews unless a) the DHCP server is down. b) another client makes a request for the IP and the existing lease has died. This enables DHCP clients to have an effective static address. It doesn't do squat for people who are trying to keep the address on a volatile network, or on networks where there are numerous PC's that are making the requests for the same IP addresses. While you can setup different lease levels, you may find that unless you have a significantly small lease allotment, you will always have client regaining their IPs. Question is: Why would you WANT your clients to constantly get new IPs? it disrupts SSL communication traffic, especially when you are dealing with external ly available IPs. --Rob
