The server should, however, be giving you back the same address you had if it's available, leading me to believe that you may be on a very busy network that's short on leases. In such a case, you'd probably also expect to see occasional failures to renew, if there were no leases available at the moment. That might explain some of what you're seeing. You may be a good candidate for a download manager that can resume when you go down and come back on a different IP. >I have ipchains set with rather restrictive policy: everything that I don't >need or I don't know is blocked (icmp is not blocked, incoming udp packets >from ports bootps:bootpc are allowed, every incoming tcp connection is >rejected). You'll find iptables much easier to deal with in this regard.
