ip address is in use on another machine?? hibernate resume problem?
I went to see my daughter and after she resumed her computer from hibernate (it had been off for about 2 days) a message popped up saying its ip address had been detected in use by another computer.
I suspect it was my cell phone that when in range asked for an ip address and the router, thinking the hibernated laptop wasn't using that ip address any longer gave it to my cell phone. Then after her system resumed from hibernate, it continued to use the ip address it had when it hibernated.
Does anyone know if this can happen? Does windows renew its dhcp ip lease on resume? Can it tell if the lease expired?
