Ok, that change is easy enough to make, but why isn't it honoring the DHCP 
lease time from my DHCP server?  I checked today and I have a different IP 
address than the one I had yesterday.  The lease time on the server is 30 
days.  I should hardly ever see a new IP address on my box.  The DHCP server 
here at the office is Win2k FWIW.  Like I said, when my laptop ran SuSE, it 
honored the lease time.  I don't know if the difference is that SuSE uses 
dhcpcd vs. the dhclient3 that Ubuntu uses.
