I'm running FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on a Dell Latitude c600. The laptop is 
continuously powered on. When I close my laptop I lose my dhcp lease. I would 
prefer the behavior of not ever loosing my dhcp lease when I close my screen. 
If I can't have this what is a quick way to request another lease without 
having to loose my login session or rebooting. Currently I have to leave my 
screen open or if my wife closes it for me I have to reboot. :(
