If I boot my machine clean (with the DHCP cache emptied), it always gets a
209.53.12.* address from one server (which I suppose is the main server
for my subnet). For some reason, the ssm.bconnected.net site will never
process a login for that address. If I leave the machine running, that
address will eventually stop working. I suspect these bugs are related.
If I manually restart the DHCP client it will always get a 209.53.15.*
address from the other server. The login page will successfully process a
login for the second address and will let me keep that address
indefinitely.
If I reboot the machine, I will get the first bad address again, even
though the first lease A) should have expired and B) should have been
cancelled when the second was issued.
Definitely weird.
