What is your DHCP refresh period?
I thought the same thing, but How would he determine this?
The DHCP lease time is listed in /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-ethx.info (replace ethx with the actual interface name). Also, that IP address is yours until the end of the lease time, regardless of whether the DHCP server renews or not.
Hi, here is the info from the file listed above: LEASETIME='604800' RENEWALTIME='302400' REBINDTIME='529200' INTERFACE='eth0' I don't know how to find this information in Wind***7 so I can't compare it to the info from OpenSuse to see if anything is different. My job requires me to travel all the time, so I get to use a lot of different hotel networks to get on the internet. Many times the routers give me more difficulty connecting to the network using linux than wind. Occasionally I will have to log onto the hotel system with wind*** and then shutdown and boot into linux to use the internet. Sometimes they give me more problems using them after connecting with linux than with wind***, as in this case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
