(RADIATOR) Re: DefaultLeasePeriod

[Ingvar Berg (EAB)]

Does anyone know how to set up clients, NAS etc to make the client use a DHCP server at the ISP? Is it as simple as doing a normal DHCP configuration in the client, and then set up your DHCP server? Or do you have to configure the NAS as well? Because such a setup would allow the client to renew its own IP address according to the lease time configured in the DHCP server.
