Mmm, since when "192.168.1.x" is an external IP? :-) (...) >> I see this: >> >> DHCP Lease Time: 0 days, 23:59:49 >> >> but it is not configurable.

Let me check my logs... okay, my dhcp client renews the lease every 9 hours although I also have a 24 hours setup in the router. Weird. > Change it to 12 hours maybe? Would I mess things up?

Look at "/etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf" file and search for any "lease" stanza. If it is commented, edit accordingly to enable you can define there your client settings.
