Hi Jamie,
This to me sounds marginal signal (like you suggest),
plus DNAv4: RFC 4436.

Hi,
I've seen sporatic occurrences of the following;
1)a user starts a DHCP negotiation session with a discover etc. and
obtains an IP address
2)the user will re-confirm the IP address at the half-life time of
the lease
3)then the user will do a DHCP-request as if re-confirming the IP
address....but this does not occur at the half-life of the lease
time...it seems to happen at random times....and then will
occasionally reconfirm at the half-life time again.
I'm assuming this is not a usual occurrence. I thought that this
was a symptom of a user with a weak wireless signal and is
therefore occasionally thinks it's lost the network. However, I
would have thought that a device, once losing it's network would
start the DHCP routine all over again....starting with a DHCP-
discover, but this is not the case, the series begins with a DHCP-
request from the users. I've seen this with XP and MACs... Has
anyone else seen stuff like this?.......is there any chance that
this is normal (I suspect not as the user I'm monitoring right now
with this behaviour is complaining about getting dropped etc.)
