Thats pretty standard for BSD and most Unixes. DHCP hands out leases for a specified period of time, so unless there is a reason to reset it, it wont. Windows does that, but it is designed more as a client / user facing OS whereas BSD is designed to run in the background silently serving you cont

Now that I have the rest of the system set up, I was going to write a blog to help out other users /admins. Some of the error messages have misleading symptoms to say the least LOL. Actually I still dont have IPV6 working, but I can address that in another thread.
