Since I got on around 8AM, it is now 1PM, 5 hours, 4 changes. But the external IP your ISP assigns to the WAN interface of your router has nothing to do with the internal IP your routers assings to the 4 LAN ports (you) :-) Anyway, query your ISP about this because is not normal (at least not for my provider) to have the remote IP changing every hour :-? Your dhcp server (the router) is configured right (it keeps the lease for almost one day), so maybe is your dhcp client which requests for a lease? Look at /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf file and search for any lease stanza. If it is commented, edit accordingly to enable you can define there your client settings. That's all commented out. Let me play with it. My feeling is that the short lease times for both devices have to do with the external IP changes. It should not be related at all. Look, my external IP remains the same even when I power cycle the router, but the local DHCP lease is set to be renewed every 9 hours. I would try by enforcing the local lease time renew from the client side (i.e., your debian computer).

I set /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf (on Jan. 08 09:20) to:

My bad.
It was not the lease stanza what you had to edit. I overlooked the
dhclient.conf file but man dhclient.conf confirmed the lease is used
when the client cannot connect to an existing DHCP server, which is not
your case :-)
And from man page I can't see an option which you can configure from the
client side to define a renewal interval... hum.

I usually have several devices that can act as DHCP servers but well, if
you only have a router available you can install a DHCP server (or run a
LiveCD with DHCP server configured) in a separate computer... unless you
only have one computer in such case no DHCP server is needed at all :-P

dhclient renewal
Hi, The 2wire router from ISP Telmex Infinitum (Mexico) went on the blink so they gave a new one. It's a Thomson TG585V8. One thing that I noticed is that the external IP now changes about every hour or so, when the internet goes offline and after a minute or so comes online again. The other thing is now I see: Jan 7 10:09:08 HDBB dhclient: bound to 192.168.1.190—renewal in 55 seconds. While previously I saw: Dec 31 08:01:13 HDBB dhclient: bound to 192.168.1.190—renewal in 40438 seconds. Why the difference? That router has 2 systems connected to it, both with ethernet cable, a laptop running Squeeze and a desktop running Sid.

Please trim your postings to just the parts you are referring to. Your quoted parts are waaay tooo large. Thank you. hvw59601 wrote: hvw59601 wrote: hvw59601 wrote: Since I got on around 8AM, it is now 1PM, 5 hours, 4 changes. That is a lot of chagnes. An unusually large number. I take that back, it *is* configurable, Change it to 12 hours maybe? Would I mess things up? I hate to talk to Telmex because then you have to hide the fact that you are running Linux and pretend you are Window$ :-( 12 hours would be fine. A full day is typical. It depends upon the use model. A coffee shop with a lot of transients needs shorter times. A home system with a stable set of machines can use a much longer time. Longer times are more robust against temporary network outages. My feeling is that the short lease times for both devices have to do with the external IP changes. External IP address changes should have no effect on your internal client dhcp leases. They are unrelated in any sane setup. And also the changes in leasetime occurred when the router changed, so IMO it is hardware related :-) Your router box may be too crazy to use. :-( Have no idea of how to get rid of the 57 sec. renewals. That is way too short! Crazy too short. Configured the TG585V8 with the only configurable item: Always use the same IP address set to yes that sets DHCP Lease Time: Infinite: http://debian-oaxaca.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post.html That does seem like it should give your internal LAN devices the same IP address each and every time and good forever. That should have no effect on your router getting a new address often from the external WAN dhcp server. That would be completely separate and unrelated. Then I did a new install of the Wheezy netinst.iso of today (Jan.7, 2012). Did not install any software, did not change anything, just the base installation. Result: lease renewal every 56 secs. Weird. The new install of Wheezy will be unrelated to what your router allocated for dhcp on the internal LAN. They are not related. Your Wheezy install will ask your dhcp server for an address and it will be assigned one along with a lease time. It can only work with what it has been given. If your router is crazy then there isn't anything that a Wheezy system, or any other, can do about it. I would be inclined to look for a firmware upgrade for the router. And then try to reset the state back to a default factory setting. Then start again on changing the configuration. It really sounds like something is wrong with the software on that router.
