   How weird.   
   One feels there ought to be a simple snitch to switch that behaviour   
   off, somewhere on the router   
   Or that if you use static address outsoide the DHCP range that should   
   work too

   Its all a bit Putin-like in its centralised state control...:-)

   If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will   
   eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such   
   time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic   
   and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally   
   important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for   
   the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the   
   truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
