Re: Static vs Dynamic IP addresses

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You are not missing anything. The DHCP manages the IP allocation, but
the PC actually insures it gets the same IP by requesting a renewal of
the lease of that particular IP before the lease is up, unless you
leave it turned off until the lease expires and some other PC (new to
the network) requests a lease.
Anyway, have fun
