Btw, is there any setting which resets ip address once in a few
hours. Does DHCP do this anyway, even though I think that the
interval is for over a day.
DHCP leases you an IP for a certain time period (whatever the server is
configured for). Half way through the lease the client tries to renew
the lease. It'll try to get the same one, but the server doesn't have
to comply. It can also release the lease. What the server does when
it next requests an IP is up to the server. It may give you a
different one, it may give you the same one (that could be time-
dependent, it could be always).
