Why use DHCP? I'd suggest a fixed address and reserve it in DHCP so you
don't get a conflict.

Subject: [SLUG] redoing DHCP
I have a VM in vmplayer. When it was last booted, it got an address via
DHCP. Eventually I suspended the OS and exited the VM, and the router
released the address. But next time the VM was resumed it continued using
the same address. By this time it had already been given out again by the
router. This has happened before. How do I force Linux to retry DHCP?
ifdown/ifup?
