Title: Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
I've been running openSuse on my laptop for 2 years now. Very simple
NIC config straight from command line. And if you have plugged and
unplugged your cable a few times, the Network manager stops trying to
get an IP address. All I do is: up arrow; Enter; and my nic is
configured with the same IP every time.
command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
You're supposed to be able to do that from windows too, but I never got
it working.

I just get sick of configuring units,
such as mikrotik, and switching devices and then having to wait until
DHCP times out. Pretty annoying when you have 50 Mikrotik boards to
configure. Takes longer for me to wait on DHCP than to drop the config
file on it.

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. I tried looking into it a while ago, but did not find anything
that easily.
Had to tell my customers to wait 5 minutes to startup the computer once
they booted up the radio.

Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7 I know a
good majority of you deal with the annoyance of waiting on Windows to
timeout when there is no DHCP server. Anyone found a fix for this?
Registry setting? Very annoying waiting on windows to timeout DHCP
when you know it will not get one. Sure a static IP shortens this
time, but can be a pain in itself. Looking for a hack to shorten the
windows DHCP timeout down to something sane.
Ideas?
