Problem is that the DHCP server will always first try to issue the IP
you last had. One way around this is to set up a script that can be
called when your IP changes to do the following:
while (not_the_ip_i_want) {
issue_DHCP_RELEASE();
randomly_change_my_mac_address();
issue_DHCP_REQUEST();
}
This might well take a while and could make your provider hate you.
