~ great article -
~ think I'll reset my home DHCP lease time,
~ just to see how things change with our own network - or not -

I've configured my home DHCP server with fixed bindings for
each client - e.g. the client with MAC 0014.51e5.cebb
always gets the address 10.0.0.4. This of course completely
prevents the iPad DHCP bug from causing any problems, as no
other client can ever get the iPad's address.

My daughter's iPad has had zero 802.11g network problems since
she got it. (I can report, however, that dropping the iPad
2 feet onto a tile floor doesn't work so well, and isn't covered
by warranty either.)

Cheers,

Aaron
