1112996 2010-06-24 05:35:00 Hi,
Just wondering what the purpose of an IP address lease time.

Where is it used and how does it work?

The point of the lease time is to prevent computers that are no longer on the network from hogging address reservations. Every DHCP lease includes an expiration time; any device wishing to keep its address beyond this time must ask the DHCP server for a new lease.

Suggest you do some research, Sol, not clutter up this site

Definition (www.urbandictionary.com). Harsh, but justified.

Yes of course. Actually, it's not 'clutter' that's irritating, it's the thought that it - really - is - better for a student to do their own homework

Still, the posted answers are often quite welcome (eg IP addressing on the other thread - I skipped over that in my younger days)
