Re: dhclient renews lease every 5 secs
I have a static ip address,
so it doesn't need to renew frequently at all.
In case of a static ip address, don't use dhcp.
Dhcp is for dynamic ip addresses only.
Think of your modem as an extension of your computer.
If the modem has a static ip address and your computer
is connected directly to the modem then your computer
has the same static ip address.
Just configure this static address in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
at a terminal, type:
info interfaces
to learn how.
