I have had my box serving my lan on a cable modem with the same external ip address, until this morning. I had to restart the box in order to get the network going again. I tried looking in man 5 dhclient.conf for clues to see if I could say restart/refresh dhclient once a day. I came across a renew statement, but it seems limited in its time field format, unlike cron's. Does anyone know of a way to flush, restart/renew dhclient. I know about isc mailing list, I figured I'd ask here before subscribing with them, just for one ?.
