You can request a longer lease time, but not compel it. That is up to Comcast's DHCP server configuration. If you use dhclient, it is the dhcp-lease-time option, which is sent as part of the send request if I recollect. I've never used it. I just checked my last few Comcast leases have been about 220,000 seconds each (60 hours). I've had the same IP number for a couple of years. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
