>After 50% of the lease time has passed, the client will attempt to renew the lease with the original DHCP server that it obtained the lease from using a DHCPREQUEST message. Any time the client boots and the lease is 50% or more passed, the client will attempt to renew the lease. At 87.5% of the lease completion, the client will attempt to contact any DHCP server for a new lease. If the lease expires, the client will send a request as in the initial boot when the client had no IP address. If this fails, the client TCP/IP stack will cease functioning.

In all this, what I don't understand is this only applies to physical wire connection. On my laptop, which is wireless, I never had this problem nor with other laptops around.

Also, if I put 9999 in there, it would be for about 7 days, which means that I will be able to be up and running for about 3.5 days. But, this is not normal. I just can't understand why I cannot get a permanent connection on the PC which is connected physically to the router.
