At what time does it deactivate. If you don't know, run the following
in a console for the night:
while ping -nc1 66.218.71.198; do sleep 10; done && date
and look at that console again in the morning.
Also, what's deactivation? What does `ifconfig eth0` say? Is the
interface still UP and does not have an IP assigned, or any other
combination of the two?
what does this output: `pidof dhclient`
in the morning?
finally, can you confirm that your DHCP server remains operable
throughout the night?
