This is likely to be "sticky" dhcp - hanging off the MAC address Or it could be that the previous dhcp settings are stored in a file somewhere on your system (wherever dhcpcd / pump / dhclient etc keeps its settings) and it tries to bind to the old IP again.
Deleting that file would typically get you a new IP, if the dhcp server doesnt allocate IPs based on your MAC address If MAC address is the case, changing your ethernet card will get you a new IP [simplest way to do it] Binand Sethumadhavan wrote: > On 30/12/05, Ravi Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I would like to know if it is possible to change the IP address >>of a client machine getting its address via DHCP from a server ?
