Thanks for previous tips and linux commands. I'm slowly getting somewhere now. However, it turns out that each time I get the 'lease' section not quite what it wants in the dhclient.conf file the NetworkManager entries in syslog indicate it is disabling the device 'eth0': "hrnzlx02 NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 40)."
After that I can't keep trying until I reboot pc to reactivate the device. So, is there command to activate a device once it has been 'deactivated'? Restarting dhcp client is not sufficient.
