    Hi All,

    I am having a slight problem with our Macs connecting to our network. Our DHCP server went down and during the time that it is being rebuilt I would like my Macs to retain their DHCP Lease info so that they may connect to the network using their leased IP. Macs connected prior to the DHCP server crash are fine, but Macs just coming on line are not. And, unfortunately, if they are rebooted/shutdown the Macs release this info as it can’t verify against the DHCP server. The Macs will return a local IP (169. range) and are unable to connect to the LAN. I can hard code the IP in the meantime but this is not quick solution.

    In past OS it did retain these leases and in fact had a pref to not do that if you so chose. We are running a 10.3.9 build and I can’t find a setting anywhere.

    Any Help would be great.

    Thanks,
    Dave
