make configure as Im on a work machine and dont need it here)
Reads well, great examples within the code ans well as in the
support files.

Jay,
I'm on Comcast in MD, and my DHCP lease is a bit longer - on the order of 3

send dhcp-lease-time 31449600
in your dhclient.conf to try to get a year's lease time up

until you try...
