The dhcp server is Solaris. Eight minutes does seem silly. If you manage the DHCP server, by all means set the lease times longer. If you do not manage the the DHCP server, the best you can do is request a longer lease time and hope that you get it. > > I have 3 -stable servers and a workstation they are all doing it after I > did a buildworld yesterday morning.

I'm not experiencing this problem, however I don't know what DHCP server is being used by my cable company. Is it possible that a change occurred on the DHCP server you use at or around the time of your last buildworld?
