The time that a given address is valid for is usually set on the device handing out the addresses.
If you are getting the address from an NT Server then the life of an address can be set in the DHCP Manager under Administrative Tools (Common).
If you are receiveing addresses from a device such as a SOHO router then it may be possible to alter the life span in the config (but not usually).
Hope this helps.

If you are connected to the DHCP server via a 10/100 switch then you must disable all auto-negotiation for the client NIC, server NIC, and through the switch management. This auto-negotiation takes longer than the DHCP requests, so the client cannot get an address when this is used.
