looking at some telnet logs it does show that if you connect using nic mac (eg) 11 22 33 44 55 66 and hfc mac (eg) 99 88 77 66 55 44 it gives you a new lease. if you then use the same hfc mac on a diff nic mac, it fails to drop the previous lease. thus, if it has failed to drop the prev lease, it in turn doesn't issue a new lease.

Can you not release it with ipconfig?

No.

Cause you aren't the one providing the DHCP.

The DHCP server is theirs, at the head end.

Ah, i see, I misunderstood the question!
