On the other hand, dhcpd starts the dhcp > *server* Yes, I'm sure. Notice the extra "c" in there. I'm using the DHCP client deamon. That is, a client that runs in the background keeping my DCHP lease up to speed. The -n option will cause it to signal a renewal. Also, I get similar results if I use the dhclient utility instead of dhcpcd. But thanks for your suggestion! sv.
