It sounds like WinNT won't take the full default lease of 7 or 10 days (I forget which it is). Udhcp won't renew the lease because the lease isn't up after a couple of days. This sounds like an incompatibility with NT. Why don't you manually edit the lease time in /etc/udhcpd.conf to something like 2 or 3 days, restart udhcpc, and see if the problem persists. If it does, I'll try to duplicate it and find the problem, but it sounds like the default lease I put in is too long of a time period for NT. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
