Subject: Re: Why do my local network ip addresses keep changing?
DHCP usually tries to keep the same IP address if possible, so unless
you have more computers than you have IP addresses available, my guess
would be that you have second DHCP server handing out IP addresses and
your computers are bouncing back and forth between the one you mean to
use and the rogue DHCP server.
