The DHCP server is set to give out leases of 3 days. This is also confirmed if I use dhcpcd-test eth0, the lease time is set to 259200 I'm running NetworkManager-0.7.0.r4323-1.8 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0.r1043-1.7 on an openSUSE 11.1 box. How can this 'noise' on the network be reduced? Just imagine all the stations on the network doing this. Thanks for your support, Dominique
