it really depends on how the client PCs are setup, but there are a few other things to check beforehand:
a) is the lease being renewed correctly (on the client) b) is the gateway up and running c) are the dns server(s) responding to requests note that on the norm the mac is usually mapped to the same ip so it doesnt really need to give out a unique ip all the time, but the lease itself should be renewed ... 180 mins is a reasonable length if your connection expectation is decent. overall you might want to take a laptop with a sniffer and associate to each AP to make sure you are getting the request/replies you expect. - jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Howell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 3:08 PM Subject: [nycwireless] Re: Need help - troubleshooting new public WAP @ Center forArchitecture > > > do you know how long the DHCP leases are setup for? > > 180 minutes.
