That's not true! IF a DHCP server has leased an IP address to an other machine, there is a lease time and a lease period. During the lease time, the client can alwasy extend the lease with the lease period. The DHCP server must accept this extend. Hence: once you got an IP address, you can use it forever as long as you keep extending the lease within the lease period. > addresses only within a certain range and then fix the IP of the VNC > server outside of that range.
