Problem is now that I have started to stay connected 24/7 my dynamic IP address has not changed in 5 weeks and all the script kiddies are beating on my firewall front door. I now want to make my self harder to be found by the script kiddies. When I was powering off my PC and cable modem every night I did not have this problem because I was getting an different dynamic IP address every day. I use the FBSD built-in DHCP client to get my IP address and lease renewal. I would like to know if there is some DHCP client option to tell my ISP at lease renewal time to force the issuing of an different dynamic IP address? Thanks in advance
