Hi Josh,

What leads you to believe renewing a DHCP lease will drop your call?

Think about this: have you ever had an HTTP download break because your 
computer needed to renew it's DHCP lease? I've never experienced such a 
thing.

I'm not an expert by any means with DHCP, but if your computer sends a 
renew, why would the DHCP server drop or change that computers IP 
address? If you want expert advice with DHCP, I'd think you'd be better 
off asking this in another mailing list.

My best answer for you would be: DHCP would have been replaced by now if 
renewing a leased address caused the behavior you're describing. Now if 
there is an IP conflict on the network (some other computer has the 
leased IP statically assigned), then yes you most defiantly would have 
issues.

I hope I was able to help,
Brandon
