Our network employs dhcp.

Suppose PC1 freezes (or reboots) leaving some files open.
If nothing else happens on the net, when it comes up againt it will
likely get the same IP from the dhcp server.

But before PC1 boots, another client could get its former IP address.

Could this cause problems ?

Also, it seems to me that after disabling oplocks some sort of "session
overwriting" is already in place, as I didn't see the "file already in
use" problem anymore.
(I should do some deeper tests, though).

Thank you.
