First off, thanks d0pp and Horse for providing some interesting information.
Darn, I guess no "ipconfig /release", "ipconfig '/renew" is going to work on a Windows box with this one.

Any of ya happen to know when a lease "knows" to expire?
I don't think I've ever understood this process too clearly.

Over here I have a single ISP connection, that I use with several boxes................one at a time!!!

So each time I connect, I get a different address.............the ISP sees the MAC addy of the box I have used, but are not really interested................they are looking at my telephone account as that is how they will bill me.................
Wow, that certainly caught my attention.
Are you recieving phone service from your ISP too?!
