I guess it's a problem a lot of administrators had. In my case, we use
Xircom Ethernet 10/100, GSM and Modem cards. The drivers give the
possibility to release IP lease on the machine's shutdown.
But as I know, there is a key in the Windows registry called
"ReleaseLeaseOnShutDown" which can do it as well. Unfortunately, I did not
remember the whole process about it. Perhaps someone here can tell us more.

Subject: RE: [FW1] SecuRemote/laptops and DHCP
We had the same sets of problems here. We got past them by using AUTOEXECNT
from the NT resource kit and good old autoexec.bat to do a ipconfig /release
and then ipconfig /renew on every boot. Then, we trained the users to
always "shut down and restart" when connecting/disconnecting from the
network. This works great for all users who do dial-up, but users who do
SecuRemote over a DSL or cablemodem connection need to also "kill" the
SecuRemote executable in the system tray.
We don't have any statically assigned IP's, but in your case I would make
those PC's DHCP clients and then put an address reservation into your DHCP
server so they always get the same IP.
Good luck!

Subject: [FW1] SecuRemote/laptops and DHCP
I have a scenario where SecuRemote does not work very well. I was hoping
someone had the same issue, and can give me the work-around or solution.
We have users who work in the office and remotely with their laptops. The
have PCMCIA Nic's that either have a bound IP or a DHCP assigned IP. After
installing SecuRemote, I can only get the VPN authentication by releasing
the IP address of DHCP clients - this can be a real hassle for people who
are technically challenged (read: all users). However, statically assigned
clients are a different story - I need to disable or remove the card
altogether to get it to work.
How do I get around this issue?
