You will find that *BOTH* the DHCP client and DHCP server cache previous
addresses. A client that has had an address will request the same address.
Even if the client doesn't ask for the same address, the server will check its
cache to see if a particular address was previously assigned and will re-assign
the same address.
Found this out the hard way when trying to get DHCPv6 working. Still have some
similar oddities to you that I need to clean out caches to make go away.
Cheers,
Dave
Yes, I believe I was seeing that too. The problem began after I had
temporarily run an old Apple Mac portable on the Ethernet switch, I
gave it the address 192/168.1.10 which was the next in line but then
it persisted in assigning that number to this computer. The
computers in my room all run through an Ethernet gigabit switch
connected to an access point so that I see any problems that might
crop up with the "wifi" system I think NM sees the switch as the
client and that's confusing things.
Bob.
