Hi; Just state in the dhcpd.conf the MAC address->IP....you can also erase the files in /var/state/dhcp/ and this will clear the request for a specific IP request.....but I see no reason to fight over an IP between systems with different MAC's if you have allocated enough range at the server?

Clients can request a lease time. The server may grant something different. Or you could put the command to release a lease in /etc/halt.local.

I successfully configured my network card to use DHCP to connect. but when I go back to my windows system (same machine). I can't connect. I supposed that the IP was not released because assigning the IP address manually worked. Now, how do I tell the DHCP client to release the IP address?
YESSS! But now I come with another question: seen that I'm offten switching OSes for the moment, what would be the best way to send this option on shut down? Or maybe is it possible to ask for short lease times?

I don't believe that the client has any control over lease times. Your best bet would be to edit the halt and reboot scripts which are called by the shutdown command.
