I revoked a laptop by accident. how do I UN-revoke it (allowing the laptop to get a DHCP address again) ?

I am running firware 1.7.3. This revoke option is under
BASIC...DHCP...Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients
at end of each computer listed, two options are Revoke and Reserve

Are you running windows? If so all you should have to do is type "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" or simply reboot. Both of these should issue a new DHCP request and get a new IP address for the laptop

All the revoke does is free up that DHCP assignment to be reused. It shouldn't block any new requests from being granted.

Also, I would update to 2.0 ASAP. Smile
