I spoke to soon.. AGAIN. Booted the main machine tonight and it pulled the next higher IP. It should've remained at 100, it was free. So, I shut it down. Booted spare that I have configured manually for 101 then booted the main machine. Sure enough, it broadcasted repeatedly, then finally said it was looking up the last recorded IP. It's about time. Ok, why isn't my PC doing that to BEGIN with? There is something wrong here. Thoughts?
