At first I was experiencing unusually huge amount of ping while laying CS (300ms!!). I checked my IP address and found that it was diffenrent than the usual. My usual IPs are in the form 124.125.18.xx but it is 115.252.160.12 now. So I have a dynamic IP which changes every 2 hrs. The lease expiration time was 5 minutes away but then I showed how big of a fool I am and disabled and re-enabled my connection *facepalm*. Now the lease has still got 1.5 hrs to expire and I have to do important work.


So, I wanted to ask you if their was a way I could change my lease expiration time...
 
Solution
To the best of my knowledge, the DHCP server controls the lease time. You should be able to call up your ISP and request a new IP based on the connection problems.
