These logs match what I would expect to see from a bouncing ethernet connection on an XP machine (maybe WinME as well). DHCPDISCOVER is what you normally see when a machine is first turned on--it's initially asking for it's IP. When a machine is trying to renew an expired lease, you won't see DHCPDISCOVER. Rather, it will do a DHCPREQUEST, like this:
Sep 7 04:02:26 10.5.0.38 dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.5 from 00:06:25:8f:13:2e via wpcm1 Sep 7 04:02:26 10.5.0.38 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.5 to 00:06:25:8f:13:2e via wpcm1 The fact that it's doing DHCPDISCOVER seems to me to be an indication that every time it happens, it thinks it's a new connection.
