Re: Fixed Lease DHCP Doesn't Work After Connecting Different Network

At my office the DHCP server leases me a specific IP address based on

Everytime I use my laptop on another network and get leased an IP and
then return to the office I don't get my "fixed lease" IP based on
MAC address. The only way to get my assigned IP again is to assign
myself a fixed IP and then change back to DCHP. Somehow, these
actions reset something so that I get leased the correct IP again..

Why is this happening and who can I fix it without assigning myself a
fixed IP, applying and changing back to DHCP.

BTW - I'm not using wireless.

Thank!

This is normal but you're making life harder than you need to to fix it.
Either use ipconfig /release ....ipconfig /renew, or repair your connection
by right-clicking on it.
