Answer: I'm not sure. :/ I think it has to be from the same octet address as
well as within a certain time frame, IIRC. I have little experience with that,
but AFAIK, that's correct.

Hmm, that's odd-are they running a router? Can they try to get the lease
renewed only every 24 hours?
My IP changes often, but I use a Windows program on my other machine to keep
the domains straightened out.
Later,
Sean
