DHCP issue

[Daniel Graham]

I am having an issue with dhcp.

I am tring to dhcp an address to a linksys router, it seams that the router needs to renew its dhcp lease more ofton then my lease time. Lease time is set to 5 days. The router needs its address renewed several times per day.

Any ideas as to what could cause this?

My microsoft clients work without a problem -

netbios-node-type h-node

Thanks,

The reason you would choose to de-activate a lease is to move a client off a lease. If the lease is available, de-activating the lease prevents Network Registrar from giving the lease to a client. If the lease is active (held by a client), de-activating the lease prevents the client from renewing the lease and it being given to another client. You can only de-activate a lease if the server is running. Network Registrar de-activates the lease immediately; you do not need to reload the DHCP server.
