As we talk the fog of understanding these gets out of the way and i
finally start to see some light and i thank you for that! :-)

So i generral i understand that:

( i understand the lease as assignment)

a) ipconfig /release release my lease on the IP address i have and also
discards my current ip address leaving my NIC unassigned.

b) ipconfig /renew gives me the same ip address with a new lease. It
never changes my ip address the time it gets renewed.

So as a logical conclusion we can say that what distincts a Dynamic IP
assignment configuration from a Static IP assignment configuration is
the lease renewal times?!?

The Static configuration actually has an infinite lease time and never
gets renewed while the Dynamic one has a time specific lease specified
by the admin of the dhcp server?
Can we say this is the case?

But then again iam confused with the fact that ip addresses never
change at renewal times so i think i still miss what the lease times
are created for because clearly they are not to be meant to change out
ip addresses.
