Please dont for a minute think that my responding to this means I am experienced :)
But I have found that the choice of dhcp client can make a difference. The two I know of are dhcpcd (client daemon) and one called pump. I am a loyal pump fan, as a lot of dhcp probs I've had have been solved by swapping to pump. Including problems about not having leases renewed.

Its such a personal thing, but for me dhcp is the way to go. Esp now with DDNS.

Does the DF here mean dont fragment? Or maybe dont feed, or dirty feet ;-)

A what host? Even a url to explain this one would be helpful :)

Looking forward to Reading Ravens Mind part II. (I've heard about being in two minds about something... :)
