hung ip addresses?

Jan 14, 2006 10 Replies

Guys, At work we are seeing more laptops have a hung ip address when the user goes home from work, (it retains the ip address from work). Due to security constraints, they cannot do a release/renew because they lack admin rights. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?



Thanks,



RF


It's most likely the same security restraints that prevent them from releasing/renewing their IP manually is also preventing it from working automatically.

Might want to consider using domain-specific security measures instead.

Thanks,

Perhaps try something with the lease time?

This helps if you use Microsofts DHCP-server, not the one I currently use... But I'll look for info about this on my DHCP-server-software.
