This is fairly common for DHCP servers. They store information about previous leases so that the same client can then get the same IP. If your router is a closed box, then nobody here is going to be able to tell you how to remove this old info from it. All this said, if having a known, static IP address is a real requirement, then you have two choices: 1) Configure a static IP address on your box instead of using DHCP. In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, you will need to have BOOTPROTO=static and add IPADDR & NETMASK lines. Just make sure the IPADDR you choose is outside the range of any that will be assigned by your router. If you are using NetworkManager, then I believe you can (and should) configure the IP address through that. 2) Configure the DHCP server to assign a specific address to your specific MAC address. You will need to consult the manual for your router for information on how to do that. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
