Btw, is there any setting which resets ip address once in a few hours. Does DHCP do this anyway, even though I think that the interval is for over a day.
DHCP leases you an IP for a certain time period (whatever the server is configured for). Half way through the lease the client tries to renew the lease. It'll try to get the same one, but the server doesn't have to comply. It can also release the lease. What the server does when it next requests an IP is up to the server. It may give you a different one, it may give you the same one (that could be time- dependent, it could be always).
