Just remember that he "could" request 2 leases depending on your setup; one for the Airbridge and one from his computer. Both would show the same MAC (the Airbridge MAC) if using new firmware.
By the way, don't use his PC's MAC as suggested below. You won't see it on your end. But this all depends on how you have your Airbridge configured. You could test and give the Airbridge a static IP, then see how many requests his computer makes. _____ Jeremy _____ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayland Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 9:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible? > I have a simple question: Who is responsible for "holding onto" an ip > address from a dhcp server? > > I have a customer (about 12 miles from my ap) who constantly requests a > new ip address.

You enter his PC MAC address and the IP you wish him to use. Every time his PC wants an IP address, it will get the same one.
