Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
You know I have a faster option. Buy a USB Ethernet port for a laptop that you assign a static and switch back and forth cable wise. I have a desktop PC that actually has 3 Ethernet cards one with a Static for our local network, 1 with a static ip for programming UBNT and Tranzeos in bridge mode, and 1 with a dynamic ip for cpe's that hand out dhcp. All we do is switch the cable that plugs into the POE. Takes 2 seconds to switch between dhcp and static. I use NET Profiles for changing the static from one range to another.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
LOL. if you have a Deliberant radio you might want to look into increasing it to 5 minutes because that's how long they take to boot up.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
Upgrading firmware and other such things can be quite unreliable over mac winbox. It¹s just not Mikrotik though. Have other vendors I have to wait until DHCP times out. As I mentioned in the original post a static IP is an option, but still annoying. If there is a way to shorten the DHCP timeout that is the end goal. My mac times out on DHCP within 10-15 seconds.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
That doesn't allow me to use the DHCP function after I get the device configured. I think Justin and I are looking for the same thing. I want to leave the laptop on DHCP and have it time out in 10 seconds instead of minutes. If the device isn't ready until 15 seconds, it is still faster to do an ipconfig.renew than to have had to wait for the time out.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but I always set my DHCP server to hand out DHCP for 5 minutes. That way if I want to reconfigure the network I can make a change and in a few minutes everything is switched over. IT's also handy to see what clients are currently online, I just take a peek at who's got a DHCP lease.

I use a netsh batch script to set a static ip (options 1 to 8) or dhcp (option 9). If you want it let me know. Works on XP and 7 for sure. Nice how on 7 the IP change is instant.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
The whole thing is windows takes so long if there is no DHCP server available. For example, plug into a fresh Mikrotik with no configuration. How long does Windows take to time out if it is set to DHCP? I have timed this at 1.5 minutes. My mac only takes 17 seconds to say ³hey there is no DHCP server I will auto assign a 169 IP². What I am looking for is a way to tell Windows don¹t wait 1.5 minutes before you assign a 169 IP. Only wait 20 seconds or whatever. Sure you can assign a static IP and lessen this time, but assigning that IP takes time to do and undo. The best solution I have seen so far is Barnes¹s suggest for a program that lets you change networking profiles. I was hoping someone knew of a registry key you could edit. Something like DHCP_TIMEOUT=20s. Instead of DHCP_TIMEOUT=120s.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
Justin, I know exactly why you are asking about this. I have been aggravated by this myself. It's never a issue unless you are in a hurry and then it's like it never times out. You would think there would be a registry setting but I have googled this and lots of people ask about this but no one has the answer. I have used a program in the past called netswitcher. This lets you have preconfigured network setting profiles and pick which one to use. You could have one that setup for dhcp or one that assigns static configurations and then you just select the profile and boom, it is changed. You don't have to reboot, well you do for w98 but not xp. This even configures wireless cards.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
I know mine doesn't take nearly 1.5 minutes or at least it doesn't take that long before I can get to Winbox. I think it waits about 30s and then sets a 169.254.x.x. While it is searching for a DHCP lease, I can look at Winbox which will fail when it sets that 169.254.x.x.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
When I used Windows, a program called tftpd32 was a life saver. Does tftp (for router flashing) does syslog (for log testing) and dhcp (to your self!) so you can avoid having to wait. a quick cmd -- ipconfig /release cr ipconfig /renew and you have what ever IP you need. Once I went full Gentoo, there are no hassles. VBox/VMWare runs XP for the very very rare times I need it (namely for cell phone programming these days) On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 1:12 PM, Josh Luthman j...@imaginenetworksllc.com wrote: I know mine doesn't take nearly 1.5 minutes or at least it doesn't take that long before I can get to Winbox.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
Justin, I would think you would want to have it setup to just switch quickly to a static address via profile or script or something. But perhaps another solution would be to use a switch or hub? If your windows computer is plugged into that (rather than directly into a radio), it will keep ethernet carrier and not want to look for a new address every time you switched radios. So it would just keep using the autoassigned one. (I think) I don't use Mikrotik much, I vaguely remember it uses a program that manages radios without using IP addressing? Perhaps that is why your auto assigned 169. address is of any value. Almost all the radios I've used (Trango, Tranzeo, StarOS) you have to use a specific subnet (not auto assigned) to talk to it. So I started out with a system that let me rapidly switch between a few statics and dhcp. Hope that helps.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
I used to use net profile but grew tired of the time it takes for windoze to switch. I can just type it in faster. Another thing to do is just leave the ethernet port unplugged until its configured. Once programmed it wont wait for dhcp. On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 1:14 PM, Steve Barnes st...@pcswin.com wrote: Look for a program called Net Profile Switch.

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
I did that once with a bunch or tranzeos. Works good. of course, having a switch up on a tower isnt practical. I'm sure there must be a registry entry for the dhcp timeout on windoze somewhere?
