Are you *trying* to piss off your ISP? If so, 30 seconds will do the
trick (as Peter found out)
Howver, if you just want to mitigate your problem then 30 minutes
will probably work better! =)
DHCP is such a fundamentally broken protocol. M$ 'embraced &
extended' it even further into broken-ness. I try to avoid it whnever
possible. Of course right now I'm using it on my home Airport
network... but that is only dial-up connected... and I don't do any
surfing at home and as little real work as possible. =)
