The manual configuration was suggested as a short-time work around to allow= =20 you to install the ISC DHCP client and then use that (for a longer term wor= k=20 around). ISTR DHCP servers will try and ping and address before giving it out so if = you=20 steal one then it probably won't be reassigned. Obviously this isn't a long term solution, and in some circumstances (like = you=20 suggest) it won't work, but it IS acknowledged as a bug.. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart2049723.zaIcnQfvPW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBD5Bks5ZPcIHs/zowRAl65AJ0c/FtOjiLLK+/s+EBiMSS/1KhdQwCdEXaF 9QGI6C2O7de5Wh1rEakHWdo= =+TLk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2049723.zaIcnQfvPW--
