or perhaps your dhcp server is giving out 60s leases? I had a router do |
| 35 |
that once. I got onto the manuf. who released a firmware update to fix |
| 36 |
it. |

I would guess that your dhcpcd is doing the right thing. Who owns the |
| 45 |
dhcp server? Is it yours? How is it set up? Is it a PC or off the |
| 46 |
shelf box? I would be looking there for the answer. |
