How to Cause Windows 98 (and NT?) to Release DHCP Lease Info at Shutdown

[Joel Meulenberg]

At the meeting today, this matter came up when Steve Johnson's laptop
was still using the info leased from his work DHCP server rather than
requesting new info from the DHCP server at Priority Health when he
connected to Priority's network.  Rick Siner provided the following
link that describes a registry mod to cause Windows 98 (for sure) and
perhaps other versions of Windows to automatically do a DHCP release at
shutdown time:

BTW, Steve's presentation was great, but, unfortunately, many people
had other engagements so the turnout was quite light (just 7 of us).

Next month's meeting will be on December 1st (rather than November
24th) and the topic will be "Crypto" - presented by Steve Poling.  It
should be pretty interesting.  See you there!
