How to request specific IPaddress with DHCP?



Hello all,

Does anyone know if there is a way to try and force the DHCP server for
your ISP to give you the IPaddress you want?

I am using dhclient as my DHCP client.  Basically, I want to try and
limit the possibility that my IPaddress will change.  In fact it just
changed and I want to try and get my old IPaddress back.

Is it possible to get my IPaddress back somehow?  I tried pinging my old
address and it doesn't seem to have been taken yet.

Cheers.
Mark.
