Yes, but if the lease is up and the computer goes down or network connectivity is spotty, it does change. My service changes me all the time and even my DHCP behind my firewall switches me from time to time, unfortunately. Nonetheless, it is worth a try, you are 100% correct on the DHCP lease policies, I just found them to be unreliable in my application.

You can set up your DHCP server to assign 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.
