Wireless DHCP Client 1

[joelrob]

Have several wireless clients in a setting where other wireless networks are available. When one of my clients drops for even a second, they obtain an IP from the DHCP server of the other network rather than mine. I then have to walk them through an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to get an IP from my DHCP server and get back on the network.

Is there any way to force these clients to only accept DHCP addresses from my server, the wireless router?
