Here is the situation.
ES 4.1.2 with 2 nics, 1 priv (eth0) 1 pub (eth1)
eth1 connected via cable (stb).
The way I have been told is that on my first request for a public IP I get a 300 second lease (aparrantly that is what e-smith is asking for) , on the renewal I get forced a 7 day lease.
dhcpcd doesn't kick in again after the second renewal, but the dhcpcd-eth1.info file still says I have got a 300 second lease.
If any one has got any ideas please help.
If you e-mail me directly I can send you logfiles (I thought it was a bit rude to post them directly).
