That's not true for Mac OS. If you have an interface configured to use DHCP, and the Mac is unable to renew the lease, it will automatically configure a 169.254.x.y address on the interface. All the while it continues its attempts to renew the DHCP lease and, once successful, removes the 169.254.x.y address from the interface. --lyndon [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTD8J7AAoJEG8PnXiV/JnUVMwP/AvCOrJb5X25JRezV0Q5+uyn E7RbSYxnPe/4BjiZ+WizUMLO6M5Gc+Yd7JDKRwxnR+ADCldJHK7M7s+ABgPSvULw yME2GGXd+qFj5CNXJtnPI8OCXlaaKjx+MiQaouPiwl4wr0yF6qEFbzLJnvGSf2VF hdsmIoT5iRen76mMmr3hTLUxq4bxnypI7NTJR/IDTdqy5BSIYNnaimrywFo82WOo EbObEbPc2EdcQTl1whVezRSOwaze1WwwRnRFnqbngid8PtT9pMG/AspxZbIeK1Tp KzG09HmcMiA+CL1WVDKbBN51I5OABUhgpR9KpbQOZf1zbx2IYz7vqQbthsksMpJo XlCIw2sfSL9SqGoCW45HCTh8548SZUeOVsVNzBtSUIQuEEl6uN/3HaFkVlkrvGug EFGsIekvDUa8ITp/ch66WcDXQYMLr5oyGEAD25V8ei89A2vo3gNMPKspgkWjDfJR tUXlXYWDOH3D9C+osEbLKr3CGkAtSsosjLS7as2huu/Fxx2C6HrerRvZerHMaLJj 7EACFdqdIhmqCXYW8r8kx8cQUKMSoNX61iKbMbDxue134DwaiCLO93xK9K6oINcf os6jXy2SplH7jnJpdYj8mbzIQ+zwyyIcaYnIzd4rNs5RuMZZ3lpd4PYP9Uv1Yfjm SjULKcMXXFiRZMWXs398 =fTc3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
