How many times has everyone been at a tower site wanting to go home only to have to wait 1-2 minutes until DHCP times out? Then if you have to reboot the device or something. 3 reboots and you have waster 5-10 minutes waiting on windows. -- Justin Wilson < [email protected] > http://www.mtin.net/blog – xISP News http://www.twitter.com/j2sw – Follow me on Twitter Wisp Consulting – Tower Climbing – Network Support From: Greg Ihnen < [email protected] > Reply-To: WISPA General List < [email protected] > Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:45:51 -0430 To: WISPA General List < [email protected] > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7 I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but I always set my DHCP server to hand out DHCP for 5 minutes. That way if I want to reconfigure the network I can make a change and in a few minutes everything is switched over. IT's also handy to see what clients are currently online, I just take a peek at who's got a DHCP lease.

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. -- Justin Wilson < [email protected] <x-msg: //29/[email protected] > > http://www.mtin.net/blog – xISP News http://www.twitter.com/j2sw – Follow me on Twitter Wisp Consulting – Tower Climbing – Network Support From: Mark Dueck < [email protected] <x-msg: //29/[email protected] > > Reply-To: WISPA General List < [email protected] <x-msg: //29/[email protected] > > Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:39:25 -0600 To: < [email protected] <x-msg: //29/[email protected] > > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7 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.

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? -- Justin Wilson < [email protected] <x-msg: //29/[email protected] > > http://www.mtin.net/blog – xISP News http://www.twitter.com/j2sw – Follow me on Twitter Wisp Consulting – Tower Climbing – Network Support -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
