[ltp] Wireless network problem

[Tony Willoughby]

If I boot my laptop from my linksys DHCP server at home and then try to
boot it at work I sometimes have problems.

I believe the laptop requests the same address it had last time and the
server at work rejects it and gives no adress out.  (I suspect this is a
bug in the server, but I'm not an expert).

When this happens, I delete my laptop's cache
(/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases) and ifup/ifdown the interface. 

I'm using RH 9
