renew IP lease automatically???

[DougP]

We are getting our Internet connection through GTE /DSL<br>I choose the Dynamic IP for cost reasons, its over $500 less a year.<br>Of course if we had a Static IP we would not have this problem.<br>Anyway is there a way to use Ipconfig /renew <br>say every Friday nite to keep our connection without rebooting the server. Which is how I fix it now every Monday morning.<br><br>And then can I Schedule a &quot;Task&quot; that does this by itself.<br><br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.

I can't offer a direct solution but I can offer something to approach your management with fi no one else offers a simple solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;$500.00 = $9.62 per week.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it's pretty easy to say it costs your company more than $9.62 to reboot a server. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Hehe I would agree with the 9.62 theory too You can also right a .bat file to release and renew your IP address without re-booting your server!!<br><br>Peace and Grease <p>The Geek<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Dont be afraid to share what you know.
