This is what I have seen here on most places that do not pay a fixed address.
I don't pay for a fixed address.
here, in France, I have two separate providers (one adsl, the other fiber), the first (free) gives no choice but a fixed IP, the other (SFR gives a said variable IP but it's known to never change
Normally, with DHCP, the address should not change. Part way through the lease time, you renew and should get the same address and keep on going that way. A couple of weeks ago, I was staying in a hotel where the DHCP lease time was 5 minutes and I'd get a different address. I counted at least 4 different DHCP servers, with different networks. As a result the Internet was pretty much useless. I used Wireshark to capture what was happening and complained to both the hotel and the company that provides the WiFi service. It was fixed for my last night there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
