It had assigned an IP address. So it reads the config file and is waiting for the lease timeout written in the config file. Which config file? man dhclient.conf There is an nice example how to configure the dhclient. The default for the client is to wait 2 hours before getting a new lease. Perhaps someone can build a -SIGHUP into the dhclient so that it rereads its configuration. have fun marc __________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
