Regarding Claim 00008Again, these are steps normally used to set up a DHCP IP address assignment proces. There are many tools to associate IP address and MAC and other address data - e.g., see http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/oputils/address-monitoring-tools.html

As noted above, addresses assigned by DHCP can be made either very long lived or permanent.
