9320.0. "How to increase DHCP client lease time?" by CSC32::A_LICAUSE () Thu Mar 27 1997 10:58

    Can anyone tell me how to get a dhcp client to accept a longer lease
    time than one originally given?
    
    I've modified my lease time parameters from 5 minutes to 1 hour
    in all possible places in xjoin and have samed them successfully.
    
    I then went to the client and instructed it to relinquish its current
    lease using winipcfg on Windows 95 and ipconfig/realease on NTV4, but
    each time the client reapplies it receives the same 5 minute lease
    time.
    
    Q1:  Must the appropriate registry entry be deleted as well?
     
    w95:
    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\DHCP\DhcpInfoxx
    
    NTv4:
    ?
    
    Please supply for NT and correct if w95 is wrong
    
    Q2:   Where else would you expect to find a lease time using xjoin?
    
    Q3:   When multiple lease time parameters are set in xjoin, which one
          takes precedence?
    
    	  I would assume default lease time under Server/Security is    
          overridden by Lease Time in Nodes >> DHCP Parameters.
    
    Thanks,
    Al

You probably found this already: it's in the Server/Security parameters
window in the Server/Security tab in xjoin.

As for Windoze, you might be better off asking in a more appropriate
notes file.
