[dba-Tech] Wireless network

Over here some ISP only renew IP every X hour.
Thats nothing new on itself but you can not get an IP address in that
timeframe if you connect a new router.

I'm not explaining myself to good here :-)
What I wanna say is when you connect a new device you gonna have to wait
until the old IP lease has time out before your new device will get a
new IP.

But this is not with all ISP...

You can tell the router to fake a mac I believe, just for this reason.

I have SP 2 installed on the desktop.  I disabled the firewall because I
am using Sygate firewall.  I think the problem has to do with the MAC
addressing, that when the router is hooked up, the ISP has trouble
finding the MAC it is looking for.  
Thanks,
Nancy
