Thanks Kevin,
Its funny that the C888746-a shows up in my lease file. Here it is:
lease {
interface "fxp0";
fixed-address 12.224.209.139;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
option routers 12.224.208.1;
option domain-name-servers 204.127.198.4,63.240.76.4;
option host-name "c888746-a";
option domain-name "attbi.com";
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 12.242.16.34;
renew 0 2001/12/23 00:58:22;
rebind 1 2001/12/24 12:58:22;
expire 2 2001/12/25 00:58:22;
}
lease {
interface "fxp0";
fixed-address 12.224.209.139;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
option routers 12.224.208.1;
option domain-name-servers 204.127.198.4,63.240.76.4;
option host-name "c888746-a";
option domain-name "attbi.com";
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option dhcp-lease-time 345600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 12.242.16.34;
renew 0 2001/12/23 16:10:13;
rebind 2 2001/12/25 04:10:13;
expire 2 2001/12/25 16:10:13;
}
I'll play around with it today. You've set me down the right path!
Thanks, Rob.
