My ip has not > changed (thankfully) and is still 24.9.218.175. DNS does not really have anything to do with this. Check, $ grep dhcp-server /var/db/dhclient.leases To see who your server is.

Again, your DNS servers don't necessarily have anything to do with this. DHCP does not need to know its server's address to work. -- Crist J.
